The better, more tactful thing to do, in my opinion, is to be the better man and professionally deal with the situation if possible, or ignore something this insignificant that can't be dealt with.
I sympathize, but future reponses should be constructive.
EDIT: The old saying of take a breath before responding, works well here. Sleep on it, then respond.  |
I've had "constructive" critism before with shows I do, but this one took the cake. I do plan to ignore it at this point. But to state you are going to bash a show for being a participant voted show because you think it is "political" got under my skin a bit too much I guess.
BUT, You guys hit the nail on the head. I do have every intention of ignoring the letter from this point forward. Reason for that is I have had at least 20-30 cars attend EVERY show I ran this year and they have ALL said they will see me next year. Letters like this do get under my skin a bit, but these are the type of people (like rednotch said) that shouldn't be at a show to begin with. I was just venting, that's all. I guess what REALLY got under my skin was him bashing a 10 year old little boy who takes pride in "cleaning" his tractor to show it off and then his father spends a few bucks to get him a "special" trophy so the kid can feel special. THAT is what set me off the most about the guys letter
