For those who want to read this and Joyce, (in the mojave)
I have been a clayart member and this was the first time getting involved with the NCECA ClayArt exchange. I do enjoy reading all that people have to say here, but I think with all this bickering about a mix up with someones mug or lost one (I am sorry to hear that happened) but is this what ClayArt is all about. I thought it was about clay and the people. I know from all this I will not and won't be involved next year or any year after. Joyce you have the right to you opinions and thats all well and good, so I forgive you for your judgemental comments.
Signed,
Michael

Michael -
You are of course entitled to your opinions on Clayart, and we welcome them,
but this particuler one was insensitive, poorly phrased, and completely out
of place. Haven't you learned anything at all about Joyce? Or about the
Clayart membership for that matter? If there is a disagreement at a family
Thanksgiving dinner, do you respond by saying that "I will not be involved
in Thanksgiving dinner next year or any year after?"
Joyce has not said anything at all judgemental. The implication is
inappropriate in this situation. Joyce is a wonderful human being, and she
has a very good sense about people. She is retired from a long and
illustrious career in school administration, and she is a very good judge of
people.
Clayart is a marvelous big family that for the most part gets along very
well. I would hate to think that you are so thin skinned as to be damaged
by an occasional family squabble. That would indeed be a hard way to go
through life.
Best wishes, and I hope we'll see you at the mug exchange next year and
every year after.
