I am an unleased MO and make no apologies about it. I try to live my life in such a way as to not say or do anything that would cause harm to another. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes not. I am at that point where I am hesitant to post on this site (and I asure you, I am not thin-skinned, so to speak) as there have been times when I have offered postings that I thought might benefit someone by my sharing some of my knowlege and experience (albeit limited, yet having done a great deal of inquiry…
I am an unleased MO and make no apologies about it. I try to live my life in such a way as to not say or do anything that would cause harm to another. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes not. I am at that point where I am hesitant to post on this site (and I asure you, I am not thin-skinned, so to speak) as there have been times when I have offered postings that I thought might benefit someone by my sharing some of my knowlege and experience (albeit limited, yet having done a great deal of inquiry and research in the leasing aspect of the OG field and having dealt with landmen/women for over 7 years now), that I have been referred to by some as greedy, selfish, unreasonable, etc. because I have not yet signed a lease. I have been also been called a "tree-hugger" because I simply expressed a profound love and respect for the land and will insist on certain REASONABLE surface protection clauses in any future lease agreement. So go ahead, some of you OG guys (certainly not all) who have a habit of posting sarcastic, condensending remarks -- take your best shot. I'll simply consider the source.<br />
To me, some of the thoughts that I have just read on this site smacks of the old standard liberal agenda of "lets all hold hands and sing Cum-ba-ya songs and all will be well" . This, again, is the time-worn socialist thought of "Share our Wealth" or, (as more recently voiced by "you-know-who" )-- "distribution of income". I would be the first to stand up and say that there's nothing wrong with banding together at times to accomplish desired ends that benefit all. However, when it comes to sacraficing at the expense of my family and and me, then I must, and will, draw the line.

Your perespective Parker is right on here, and it applies to much more than leasing but in anything in life when working with others. Remember St. Francis?<br />
<br />
...O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;<br />
<u>to be understood as to understand;</u><br />
to be loved as to love. ...<br />
<br />
I look forward to when the day comes that I can challenge myself to have this perspective with others in my section! It may be a years off :-)

Parker:<br />
<br />
Now you've touched on the very thing that causes more strife than anything else in this play: the value each individual involved places on 'me', 'my friends and neighbors', and 'them'.<br />
<br />
The ugly truth is that generally most of us make personal decisions based on the advantage (or minimizing disadvantage) gained by 'me', without much regard to someone else, and then to whatever degree rationalize our 'me-centric' decision in terms of how it may help 'my friends and neighbors', and to…

<br />
The ugly truth is that generally most of us make personal decisions based on the advantage (or minimizing disadvantage) gained by 'me', without much regard to someone else, and then to whatever degree rationalize our 'me-centric' decision in terms of how it may help 'my friends and neighbors', and to h#@! with them. Then, rather than find blame in ourselves when faced with an inequitable situation (as with what happened in the last year), we blame the 'them' that helped set up or further the situation in the first place.<br />
<br />
Unless people are able to admit their 'me-centricity', IMO, it will be hard going in an attempt to get them to understand anyone else's perspective.
