Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I think Matt should wait until the show has aired or at least its outcome can be seen or felt as previously stated. However, lest anyone think I don't believe in Matt's ability to publicly, professionally and positively represent us in the best fashion possibly, I do:). I do know, even if Matt does his best and he will, TV will often edit it down from a positive statement about us coming a positive one such as Matt is, into looking like a silly statement coming from a silly dwarf. Editing can do that to anyone's appearance by snipping a word here or there and then joining some facial expression one may have had later in the interview to a question or comment before. And knowing that TV does that to THEIR advantage to gain a few more viewers and/or just for a laugh, for what do they care about truth and us anyway when it's about the almighty dollar, they may do that to you, tho you still did your best:(. This is something to think about, again not doubting your capability, just their honesty in protraying you protraying us honestly. If you do it, I would request full editorial control over what is finally shown or released of your statement. To see if it matches what you had intended to express or convey, especially to those who dont know anything about us or LPA. Again, to me, Matt is a great compassionate man, one who is on our side. But I still think you should wait for the above reasons AND for the reasons others have stated as well, such as possibly seeking the membership's approval(?) or agreement(?) in wanting you to do it for us in the first place. However, that's an issue I'm not familiar with, so I am gently bowing out and keeping quiet on that one. luv, grady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No editing involved unless y'all tape it, take it into your personal Apple computers, do your digital i-Movie magic and produce another product. And if you have that kind of talent, I can tell you there are jobs out there for you. And if it's funny, send me a copy, we may need to have a " Roast Rohloff " one day.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Grady-- In response to your concern: It's live -- No editing takes place, only 2 second beeping. Matt Mr. Matt & the controversy I think Matt should wait until the show has aired or at least its outcome can be seen or felt as previously stated.
