Very good, then. In the future, Ray, when someone asks you directly on list,
"How would you handle the community problem you have just criticized others'
handling of?", you can contribute what you know. If you don't know how to do
something any differently from the way others did it, then write clearly, "I
don't know." Frank and honest ignorance is an important part of knowledge;
indeed, it may be the root of wisdom.
-- Tony West
Are you saying, then, he advised you to answer a direct question when
courteously posed by others, in the course of a conversation? That's a
wise recommendation on his part. You should abide by it in every post you
write.
I'm saying that we can all contribute what we know. whether it's about car
break-ins, missing cats, or a list of public responsibilities for ucd. and
we can contribute without name-calling, without beating each other up, or
without claiming that I'm right and you're wrong. there's no set outcome,
but it's bound to be more than what we started with.
