"I don't suppose anyone here has had a dream and then had someone smash all over the top of it."

That, as sad as it may seem, is the definition of life - at least for the majority of the population. I do not know too many people myself who have had all of their dreams answered. Even when they are, it is not always in the manner you would like them to be. You should feel lucky that one of your dreams has been fulfilled; some people never get that far.

However, there are practical things to consider as well. There is no sense in trading reality for a pipe dream, either.

I do not think anyone is trying to quash the Magazine idea, just point out things that may not have been seen in the backrooms where it was discused.

All too often, a voice of dissent is seen as being destructive rather than constructive. As long as that perception pervades these forums, nothing of value will come out of these types of discussions. Someone has to ask the hard questions, and someone has to answer them. Would you rather that the questions were not asked until R'osity found themselves in an adverse situation where they were forced to answer them?

Constructive feedback comes in many forms, not just blindly kissing up to an idea and supporting it 110% without considering all of the possibilities. If used correctly, both positive and negative feedback can bring about the changes that are needed and result in a stronger Magazine.
