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.
Understand that right now, there are maybe 20 people involved in
this...maybe 30 after today. Of that number, some of them disagree with the
idea, some strongly. However, their comments are not directed in getting
emotional answers, but rather, objective answers.
Ya gotta admit...everyone has a style and your responses and posts do elicit
the former type of discussion. In a general discussion board, this is good
when 6 different topics are being discussed at the same time, yours keeps
them lively. Keeps the list humming. Keeps it interesting. OTOH, for other
types of discussions where it is the same topic all the time, at certain
stages of their development, this is counterproductive. It is just my
opinion that at this point, I'd just rather see less heat along with the
light.
Please don't take it as a personal dig...your opportunity will come if, and
at that point, if you want to get involved, you are welcome. If not, I
understand. I just think that right now, it is too precarious.

I understand. Some people on this board get very emotional with their
responses. They take every word they write very seriously and if you dare to
speak against those words you are all species of scum. Nobody knows that
better
than me.
But, if you're going to say "not everyone...is considered appropriate" then
you
cannot say "discuss it objectively."
You're not going to allow people that disagree with you to join the
discussion.
That's fine, but its not objective.
