With all of the craziness happening lately. I would like people to be able to know what caused all of the mass hysteria. Monday May 3rd. Dr. Frye wrote a final statement to the Dendroboard community. He said goodbye and asked that the post be left intact and untouched. Within half an hour of saying goodbye to the board, his message was frozen/erased/moved, and Dr. Frye was officially banned from Dendroboard. The owner of the board claims that Dr. Frye broke the user agreement in his final statement. I have an exact copy of that statement, and can’t find the violation. Please feel free to read the cause of the hubbub and ask Joe Hickson if it is absolutely identical to Dr. Frye’s posting. While you are at it ask Joe how Dr. Frye violated the user statement. I am a biased member. I am both a friend of Dr. Frye’s and an employee of his, but he neither asked nor paid me to post this. The following statement is exactly as it was posted. I suggest either printing a copy of this post when you read it or saving a copy to your hard drive, because it will most likely be erased within minutes.
“Assumptions allow the best in
life to pass you by

If we all worked on the assumption
that what is accepted as true is really true,
there would be little hope of advance
- Orville Wright
Assumption is the mother of the screw up.
- Angelo Donghia
You proceed from a false assumption. I have no ego to bruise.
- Spock
Assumptions are the termites of relationships.
- Henry Winkler
The least questioned assumptions are often the most questionable.
- Paul Broka
You must stick to your convictions, but be ready to abandon your
assumptions.
- Dennis Waitley
The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more
likely
there's gold in letting go of them.

Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your
windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the
light
wont come in.
- Alan Alda
I have recently been informed that Melissa is offended and believes I
called her an ASS earlier today. If she makes this assumption, she must
also realize that I must by necessity be calling myself an ASS. Now, I
have the self-confidence and self-awareness to admit that I can, at
times, make a total ASS out of myself, but I wasn't trying to call
either of us an ASS earlier today. That being said, Melissa has asked
that I be punished. Punished for my horrific statement of, "There is a
great saying about assuming."
Once again I am reminded that anyone and everyone can write on this
forum. That provides the potential of greatness, but it is that same
opinion-overload that can overwhelm those seeking knowledge (true
knowledge with facts and data and stuff.) I admit to overreacting once
again by responding to Melissa. Her speculations and assumptions,
whether they be grounded in truth or pixie dust, are sacred on this
forum. She and a few other board members get the greatest satisfaction
out of seeing their ideas spewed forth across the web. For some the
significance or even truth of their statements doesn't even matter.
Volume is what matters to these few.
For offending the powerful and fair moderator, Melissa, I will most
likely be removed from this board. I wanted to thank all of those who
have strived to provide help and knowledge to eager board members. I
want to congratulate the board for becoming so large and influential. I
hope to stay in contact friends I have made. As always, I can be
reached
at my hospital if there is a need. Good-bye.
Sincerely,
David Frye
P.S. I hope Joe and Melissa and the other moderators have the decency
to
leave this message untouched and in place. I can't believe that this
message will destroy the foundation of Dendroboard, but I expect it to
be erased.”
