Hi SE

I'm not sure that demanding a deadline is entirely helpful. I have other priorities and commitments outside of talking with you and coming here is try to sort this out. I don't appreciate having demands made of me and just expected to jump. I will look into this week but im a very busy man. As tara said, i work very hard on our forum organising meet ups on top of the forum running and constantly updating and building modifications. Plus i organise all the interviews myself like the one with the lead singer from skindred.

Its a pitty you feel this is an opportunity to once again be rude. Its entirely your choice tho. i had hoped you might become a little more reasonable as i have made every effort to reach out to your for friendship even if we disagree on a few things.

As i say, i will consider this week but i can't guarantee that i can make it. A skype call would mean we could instantly discuss possible dates and get something set. I am sensing your avoidance of this debate and it seems you are now trying to get out of it by giving me these demands. i sincearly hope this isn;t the case, again, that would be on your shoulders and your choice.

Hi Stimpy, I was wondering the same thing, Im still waiting responses from Soaring Eagle to points i've raised but still no reply.

SE, Could we perhaps have a skype call to finalise the arrangements. I am having to come here to chase you up and you're site isn;t the easiest to navigate.

If we can chat on skype im sure we could get things moving right away and save a lot of silly bother.

What say you?

Hello fello dreado's

apologies for not replying for ages. I've been extremely busy and as a result also got i'll due to overworking and a repetitive strain injury.

Basically i've been single handedly coding and building our new forum platform and mobile app. Also with the January Dreads UK gathering and now the valentines gathering coming up. I'm also developing a Dreadlocks documentary that i'm hoping to pitch to major network channels, arranging interviews with celebrities with dreads and endless meetings.

Its coming together, but i've been slightly off the radar.

No date has been confirmed yet, we had previously penciled in a possible date but nothing has been set in stone.

RE: soaring eagle. the comment you've made on thursday just passed quote "i've thought about it and i'd like you to go first"

Im assuming that is a response to my offer of you opening the floor for discussion. If you could elaborate on what you have thought about and how you drew the conclusion that you'd like me to go first. I may better understand your thinking so we can reach a good basis for opening discussion.

Many thanks
Elijah

its more a share of information. I would hope SE didn't see it as an argument as that would be a shame. Im sure we are both mature enough to get past an argument and just make it a helpful discussion

Its hard to debate preference and what the correct "look" for dreads should be...

Is the debate arguing how maintenance effects the health of dreads?

i like this approach. This would be entirely possible with G+ and would mean there is less chance of people talking over one another. i see no reason that this couldn't work.

There is a questions wall where people can ask questions where we can pick up from everyone contributing

It would be good if it were only SE and DreadsUK and there was a live message board/chatroom for the people watching that could be seen by both SE and DreadsUK and then we could have a fast and high quality video feed whilst still allowing people to weigh in/ask questions Looking forward to it

What are your thoughts on the treatment for the show?

Assuming this is acceptable to you, i could consider either sunday 2nd or 9th february starting some time between 1pm and 8pm UK time.

I would need to confirm with all parties this end before securing the date, as i am sure you will need to do the same.,If we pencil it in for now.

I'm still confirming a couple of key speakers this end so these dates may change.

How are preparations your end? What do you need in place to be ready yourself?

Thanks
Elijah

Hi Casey,
thanks for your reply. It sounds like you have a strong case for your position. it would be great to have you in on the debate. Also agree it would be great to get some 'victims' as SE calls it. All these will help to build the most honest perspective. Very much looking forward to your contribution.

As tara said, its about educating people and getting the truth out. Rudeness and attacks are not welcome.

As for the date, SE hasn't replied/responded to my proposal ideas/suggestions i've posted above. Its been posted for a while now and still no reply. I just assumed it was cause he said he was sick, SE???
