I tend to avoid Novotels anyway- they fall into the same category as Ryanair on the customer service front..........

I agree absolutely!

Nice to have you back in good health and spirit. Lots of thanks Steven for this post, one of the best I have ever read.

This is a nice gesture, but IMO he should apologize publicly. I think he has the personality to do so, and that wouldn't damage him at all.

Hi Steven,

Sorry to hear what happened to you in London.
I am glad to hear that you are doing well and in good spirits.

Cheers,

By chance the first thing i read when logging on this morning was your post Steven. I must say, this has started my day of with enthusiasm and happiness.

For a young fella to have such an attitude, such articulation, such sense and such a strong morally fine attitude on all things has given me inspiration.

If only the majority of the younger generation were of the same make up.

Well done young man, your father must be as proud of you as i am of my son!

Steven, glad to hear you are okay. Your outlook is also one to admire.

Good to hear that you are doing well. It's also good to hear that you are interested in putting (what I would hope) is a "collective" best foot forward. Obviously that would entail quite a bit of change in this industry, but I won't go into that here; I will only post that I truly hope thats where we are headed.

Best wishes to you!

I've heard criticism, over the weekend, that you, your dad and J. Todd were willing to speak with warren and lou, that it was apeasement, etc.

I prefer to call it being polite and in control of your emotions.

I too congratulate you and michael for being so calm and controlled. While i'm always trying to react to negative things in a more positive way, i'm pretty sure that it would have taken me more than a few minutes/hours/days to throttle back my anger and speak to my "rivals".

Thanks to you guys for showing us that not only can people can behave this way, but that it's an important component of being a responsible adult in a fast moving world.

being that this happend in London, i believe the membership are supposed to shout out "Here!, Here!" (or is it Hear!, Hear!) in support of these statements

PS - Congrats to J Todd for his efforts in trying to report just the facts and keepin his emotions (i'll assume you were angry as it was all happening) from fueling the fire.

Can the veterans of the affiliate world imagine how this newcomer is viewing all of this? It certainly makes me wonder what I may have gotten myself into!

I don't want to sound naive...... to say that events in the last months between CAP and GPWA, that led up to the lobby scuffle, don't happen in other businesses because they do. But none the less, I was shocked.

Then I read Steven's post this morning. First of all, I am glad to hear that you are doing fine Steven and, second, I would like to Thank You for redirecting me. I felt relief after reading your post and realized that I have my "business" to focus on and not the squabble between the 2 fourms.

This is why I am a member of this forum!

I am glad to hear you are in good spirits after your ordeal and I agree with everyone else. You have alot of class and you are someone who is truly respected as a person and in buissness.
