Peter, That was just a continuation of the piece of Jesse's message that is beyond out of line.
What's worse it is fraught with misinformation and spewing toxicity in the middle of what actually could be a fruitful conversation. Whatever you think you know about the people in IxDA, you really don't. You also don't listen. No one has said that there isn't overlap of membership, or even methods between disciplines. What I and others have been saying is that beyond the overlap there is definite distinction and for all the platitudes towards membership you gave above, none of them actually speak to the realities of the data: 1. More volunteers for Ix10 are NOT working on IDEA09 than are. 2. There is less overlap between IAI & IxDA statistically than you are representing. I'd say way less than 1/2 at most 40%. 3. UX may be a construct of understanding for some in IxDA & IA, In IxDA it is not the sole construct. -- dave ps. Please, stop accusing very hard working people who are passionate about what they do like this. I will always be a leader of IxDA, but I am even more concerned about the true leaders of IxDA who REALLY are fantastic folks who do not deserve this treatment. Disagree if you must (hell, i do all the time), but don't conjure up stuff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
