To whom it may concern,
It is far easier to stand on the sidelines and point out faults than it is to contribute.
I have more respect for those who offer their expertise, in the spirit of community, then those who spread misinformation. I am not going to stoop to low-level tactics like making personal attacks or spewing defamatory rhetoric. This is your game. I never call other peoples work a "sham" or based on "fraud" because I believe in the free exchange of ideas. We are just trying to help and nothing CRT does is motivated by "politics". What does "politics" mean anyway?
I understand that taking a contrary positions is a viable way to perpetuate business because there will always be alternative markets. I’m a big believer in the free market model and appreciate that not everyone will take the same paths. If it perpetuates your business, feel free to launch more attacks. Maybe your business prospects will see it as unprofessional. The attacks bother us (naturally) but do not distract us from continuing the CRT mission, so you are wasting your time.
If you have read this letter and have no idea what I am talking about, I apologize for wasting your time. On the other hand, if the content hits home, then I wish you would contribute to the industry in a more positive manner.
Sincerely,
Mark Lesswing speaking for staff of CRT a division of NAR
