misconceptions and misunderstandings in our hobby.

hi my EF/MF brethren
From time to time I like to look at our hobby with a wide view, now this post is not meant to single out any indiviual or group, it is my way of just sharing what I feel, as of late I have been looking at what we have,who we are and our overall direction, EF/MF is strong, with new hobbyists, new styles of play and with guys putting out DVDS and internet tv capability we should grow even more in the future, peeps know as of late the SFEFLOC was restructured to go 4.0, now I have had some positive feedback and negative, but on the whole it was best for us, but in doing things sometimes you lose support of people you may have had close relationships with, to anyone reading this blaze your own trail, this hobby has alot of uneccesary people worship, I too have been guilty of this, but after revaluation of where I was and where I wanted so Flo to be in the EF/MF world I had to clean up my yard, there are great people in this hobby, but still it is just a game, weather a person is a great coach, player, figure artist , painter tweaker whatever, admire there skill but evaluate the whole of that person before you step out on a limb and say hey such and such is so great or wonderful, you may be wrong, and not know how you got involved in something deeper than you expected. I love the game and want to spread it anyway I can, but not at the expense of giving out bad information. to our newer hobbyists look at whats here, emulate the things you want to do from experienced veterans, but beware if you see that you are now allied or linked with a person or group that may not be on the same page or ideas as you, bounce! trust me, one person I think of is Anthony Burgess, now I wont recap AB's life and times in the EF/MF community, but I feel its a shame he is no longer here, even though he may not have been the most well liked indiviual in EF/MF, his heart and vision always shined, I understand him more now than ever. AB you are missed brother contact me, but in closing let peeps play how they want, help others when you are able, EF/MF can grow if We all contribute to it. and whats best for you may not be best for me, but have enough character as a person to let me try another path,somtimes my EF/MF family we can be what is wrong in the hobby, it took me a while but I got it.

stay blessed
