mk's ego is not made of glass. By posting this he chooses to welcome criticism of all types, positive and negative, emotional, intellectual, informed, ignorant, and downright batshit insane. He asked for our genuine thoughts, I offered mine. They are not a criticism of him or this website, but only of his idea. If you read my third comment on this chain, the very first line to it is . . . To which mk responds . . . So no. I am not trying to be rude. I am however, deeply, deeply concerned about this idea. Also, see my second comment on this comment chain. Even if the experiment itself goes well, the actual concept in practice itself has the potential to go horribly wrong.I really don't want you to take this personally, because I respect you and value this website, apparently more than i thought because the very concept of this system fills me with dread.
Don't worry. I don't take it personally in the least, and I appreciate you sharing the concern.
Of course, no harm no foul. It's just tough for people to gauge tone in comments. I do my best to give the benefit of the doubt. Often I drop an 'IMO' when I am firing off an idea so that it's clear I'm trying to add rather than argue. Not saying you should. But I found it saves me time and energy clarifying.
In my defense, I usually do. However, over the weekend I was without a computer so I was posting from my phone. As a result, I kept my posts short and succinct. I think I sacrificed some humanity in my comments as a result. I'll try my best to rectify that down the road.
