Plus, I've thought about this a fair bit because I'm (apparantly) an "expert" on some topics, and have to be careful in certain circles about talking off-the-cuff because I get taken way too seriously. The main problem that your bouncing into is that because you're "the Lugnet people", you ARE authority figures, whether you like it or not. Decisions you make - even just opinions you express - have an effect on the community as a whole, for better or worse. This effect is magnified for those of us who think RTL is so much dead space. You aren't the only authority figures, but you're certainly up near the top of "Important Fans" Again, I don't think you should be less prolific, or less opinionated :) or less anything, really - maybe a bit more careful is all. $0.03 - ain't inflation a killer?

(...) I guess it never really sunk in. I always used to talk exactly like this (strongly asserted opinions) on RTL too, so from my internalized point of view, not much has changed. But I guess some things have. Hmmmmm. (...) You're probably right. (...) (25 years ago, 6-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.admin.general)
