TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As a long time lurker on this list I have seen a lot of people lose their
posting priviledges when their clash of opinions turned personal.
I agree with Bill, your opinion is as valid as Amdrew's.
Express that opinion as your opinion without making personal attacks on
those holding contrary opinions and life will be good.
If you absolutely, positively, have to make a personal attack don't do it
here. We don't want to hear/read it!

Bill Swallow wrote on the topic of Outragious behavior:
I know this my third post in a very short period of
time, but I'm still reading through the mess of filth
and drivel that has emerged from the STC threads.
Somewhere along the way the conversation turned from a
discussion about the organization to an Andrew Plato
slam fest.
I'm going to say this again and again until it starts
sinking into your skulls.
HE IS JUST AS ENTITLED TO HIS OPINION AS YOU ARE TO
YOURS.
Now, before you all reply with your slams at me, wrap
your minds around this:
ANDREW NEVER SAID HE SPEAKS FOR ANYONE ELSE ASIDE FROM
HIMSELF. THESE ARE HIS OPINIONS AND HE IS ENTITLED TO
THEM, WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT.
So before you publicly berate, belittle and dismiss
him (or anyone else who's opinions diffre from yours),
think about what they are saying and how they are
saying it. We all have a right to speak our minds
without being beaten for doing so. If you disagree and
want to speak your mind, by all means go ahead, but
don't make your point by trying to belittle someone
else for making their point.
