I applaud those of you who are in SEA doing the hard yards to try to get events up and running such as Dox. But at the same time, having power struggles and mental crisis' are not going to achieve your own goals, or help anything.
I think labels like "power struggles" and "mental crises" are heavy exaggerations. The phrasing suggests a few small disagreements resulted in catastrophes to the extent of PPSL.
Occasionally I choose to voice my opinion and I welcome the opinions of others, it doesn't need to be viewed as a flaming feud when those perspectives don't align. Just because I disagree with something Benji says about a player, or respectfully accept a decision Bryan makes doesn't mean I hate them and I want to see them burn. I continue to respect and appreciate their contributions to the scene and I carry on doing what I do. (Same applies for when I inadvertently upset Dan.)
I'd really love for you FXO fellas to come on over and attend an ACL event one day. I think you'll be proud to see what these talented guys have accomplished over the last year. The Australian scene has come a long way since you guys shipped out. As far as population density goes, we're never gonna catch the rest of the world. But when it comes to infrastructure, production and professionalism, ACL is world class. And I'm not tooting my own horn here. I'm a really small fish in the grand scheme of ACL. There are half a dozen unsung heroes who really make the magic happen.
Anywho, I know AU/NZ doesn't represent SEA as a whole, but I just wanted to share that little bit. There is a common misconception that we're stagnating. This is definitely not the case.
