    ultimately it is more unfortunate that your management of Art
    Jewelry Magazine has demonstrated that selling out of the only
    employee that made the magazine worth paying for and,more importantly
    gave credibility to the title chose a product over the most valuable
    human resource, we -as readers, subscribers, jewelers,and
    metalsmiths. could rely on to keep the "jewelry" in 'Art jewelry
    Magazine".Firing Nanz Aalund, was,as others have termed it a
    "knee-jerk reaction" at least,and calls into question your
    credibility and journalistic ethos of which the right to free speech
    and "a healthy debate long overdue " (and perhaps a special
    assignment that should have been given Nanz to investigate the
    changes,if any, in the product's development(s) over the 13 years or
    so since its introduction) on the topic off metal clay. At least if
    Nanz had been given the chance to revisit, and investigate any
    advancements the product may have undergone since she was first asked
    to work with it years before,could have been accepted as unbiased
    objective reporting on the topic. At this point,and in light of your
    actions based,apparently,on one person forwarding her objective and
    critical analysis of the material to you, which otherwise you would
    have had no knowledge of, can not be trusted. Further, your admission
    that you did not post the e-mail reconfirms the fact that you do not
    participate in Orchid and based your decision on outside influences
    ,as opposed to choosing to ignore something posted by Nanz, in her
    own time, in her own pursuits, having nothing to do, as she stated in
    the post, with the magazine you edit...as your choices are yours to
    own, we - the colleagues of Nanz Aalund-can only hope your publisher
    sees through the petty office politiking and makes the right choice
    regarding your continued reign over the magazine's direction.
