About this "indie" thing:
I'm new on this list, and I'm wondering what all the recent bad blood is
about. I didn't save his e-mail, but from what I remember reading, Russ (it
was Russ, wasn't it?) was just sharing his opinion with the rest of us. I
don't understand why everyone's jumping all over him about it. Can't we lay
off the sarcasm, name-calling (indier-than-thou? Please. It's so indie,
whatever that means, to not be indie nowadays... but not to excess, of
course.) and bad vibes for a while, and just discuss things civilly?
We're all entitled to our own opinions, and to express them freely. What
sucks is when people start moving away from ideas and into personal
territory. Into bullying, pettiness, and incoherent rambling. So before
this situation gets out of hand, let's all lighten up and keep talking to,
not at, each other.
Thank you.
Stepping off the soapbox,
Sylvia
