His writing/communicating style changed. I'm no expert but I do pay some attention to how people write to improve my own writing skills. He definitely isn't writing the same way so it's likely not Putt at the keyboard.
Where do you think the delineation began on his changed diction? I could try and investigate when I get the time, making observations on how Putt's rhetoric transformed based on sentence structure, behavior, and argumentation. It would take awhile to reach anything conclusive, if it all though.
I first picked up on a change in cadence and rhythm in his "Builders" speech. The writing was not the same with his quirky sentence structure and odd cadence. It had too much flow and some words seemed un-Putt-like. I can't give examples at the moment, but if you can compare it to an earlier post you may find the differences stand out.
Same here, I just made the comment. My background is in writing, translation, linguistics. The personality feels different.
Again, I have no inside knowledge, just a feeling from the tenor of what's transpired. I think he was either bought out or ousted by angels.
Angel investors can certainly do that. Maybe Putt didn't have a lawyer read the fine print. I worked for a company that ousted the entire executive team because the angel investor they brought in to help them with financial troubles pulled a fast one on them. They didn't quite get the gist of the performance clause and after 6 months they were all evaluated, found lacking and kicked out. This could have happened to Putt too but he might actually be going insane too.
Either way, I agree ... and he is not the same, could care less, laid back dude that was.
