#1. I think the message of what I've been trying to do here is lost in translation. If there is one statement I can make that will sum up how I feel about this whole NBCU vs Feature Film ordeal it is this.
I can be non biased about both projects, I have the capacity to view the issue from different perspectives but as a Knight Rider fan and a person who knows Glen personally, it is my feeling that for better or worse NBC is stealing what Glen created. Just because they can do it legally, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
They are stealing it because they didn't ask him to be involved with it, they just went around him and did it.
You don't have to agree with me, you just need to understand that beyond all this friction and confrontation, that is how I feel deep down about these projects. It DOES NOT mean that I am out to sabotage the NBCU backdoor pilot, all I am asking people to do is understand and respect where it comes from and what is and isn't being done to respect or maintain the elements that made the original series so unique and inspirational to those who experienced it. It wasn't a perfect show but it was a fun show with real moral value and a unique form of entertainment you just can't find anymore.
#2. I offered to give plot details to people who asked me to do so as a favor, out of respect to show that I can give unbiased information about the project. I didn't cram spoilers down anyone's throat and I didn't force anyone to read what I posted about it. It is unfair to assume that my intentions are to destroy the credibility or possible success of the backdoor pilot, just because I am involved with the feature film.
I have looked at this project, "outside of camps" and have addressed my concerns with it, as a fan of Knight Rider who respects and understands the original source material it's being constructed from.
#3. Anyone calling me biased because I know Glen, doesn't help support your arguement when you don't agree with what I have to say, it just causes friction. I am an intelligent person who believes in looking at things from more then an obvious approach. I would hope that people would understand that despite who you may view my approach to the points I address, they are still valid points supported by valid evidence.
I'm not some kid who just loves Knight Rider to death, pretending to know things and am out to destroy all things Knight Rider that do not fall into line with Glen's vision because he created it. There's elements of Knight Rider that just make it Knight Rider in the first place and when those elements are tampered with, it's frustrating when its being plastered all over the net as the next big thing that is superiorto the original.
I have never intended to mislead people and everything I have said on these boards is the truth, even when I am wrong.
I am not an instigator or a troublemaker. When I am challenged, I try to use reason and if that reason is neglected, then I am less then cordial. Those who I have been "arrogant" to in an obvious manner, I have given warnings before hand for people who I do not care for to back out of my affairs if they have nothing of value to contribute to them. From now on I will just ignore them. I'm tired of trying to reason with individuals who don't want to find solutions they just want to egg on conflicts.
---- As far as Michael and Neil are concerned ----
#4. Michael Pajaro and Neil if you wish to resolve our differences for the better of the community, you can IM me any time you wish on yahoo messenger or you can send me a private message and we can arrange a time we can discuss things further about finding a compromise.
I want you to understand my decision to make this post has nothing to do with the threat of being banned, I honestly believe at this point my purpose here goes beyond whether I like you or vice versa. Out of respect for the community, I have to make certain compromises in order to co-exist.
You can't intimidate me, you can't insult me, but you can reason with me.
I feel how I feel about what you're doing behind the scenes and those feelings are unlikely to change. I've decided after talking to my mutual friend who made some good points that for the good of Knight Rider fans, I have done everything I can to try and convey why it is that I feel the way I do and at this point there's nothing left to say about the backdoor pilot that needs to be said. After it airs I won't be the only one voicing their opinion I'm sure.
The subject of whether KRO is biased or not cannot be resolved, it can only be ended.
Like Michael Knight in Knight of the Juggernaut he didn't agree with what Jennifer wanted to do with FLAG or how she saw his efforts but he decided to walk away from it and look at a bigger picture to find out what was really going to be the best road to take.
You two claim to like all things Knight Rider, while at times I don't agree, out of respect for the community I will respect your desire to promote "all things Knight Rider" from now on and no longer go on the offensive against you providing you do the same.
