Hi WBP, TBTK has lost its direction since its infamous fight/walkout at the MetroCentre Hotel. The election was canceled. I hope TBTK would be revived.
I see a weakness in TBTK gathering. Attendees don't really know each other even online. There was no connection. There was no spark of friendship. It is not that easy to strike a passionate friendship on first meeting.
There was also a big issue in which a TBTK official was brandishing his/her wings of superiority. (Gitawag ni ug "nakatungtong na lagi sa buko-buko sa kabaw, mao garbo na ang nagpasulabi).
A TBTK gathering may not serve its purpose if there is no sweet friendship to cherish and hold on for life.
Sakto gyud ka Mike. An organization exists only on paper or in the web, but friendship lives in our hearts and in our memories. It is regardless of time, space, gender, age, status, human logic, etc., it is priceless, unconditional, universal, etc., etc, dugangi pa Mike.
We may argue or disagree on certain things, but just refer to the above pharagraph.
I observed that mostly newbies are hostile, and as they interact more with the TB citizens, they will calm down and harmonize with the rest. This process is not instant. There is time of adjustment and several communications. Then there is the EB which is the physical seal of this friendship.
Friendship reigns in our virtual home Tubag Bohol.
