Yes, I was there, sat and met with Ted and GMGM. I recall how angry everyone was coming out of that meeting. where basically GMGM dismissed all of our thoughts on how to manage the roster (which in hindsight was absurd for us to think anything else would happen) but more so because Ted simply used the meeting to try to get us to tone down our criticism. Ted sent me an email afterwards saying how he had to focus on the majority, rather than the vocal minority (i.e. us message board critics). And frankly I understand that approach completely. But the fact is, we got a meeting, but that meeting was for his purposes, not ours, and in the end that meeting accomplished nothing apart from having a good story to tell.
After all is said and done, that opportunity to meet with Ted and GMGM was really unique and it was a great experience, but we weren't there to be heard. We were there to be talked to.
