I have been a lurker for quite awhile, and I have been posting more of
late.
I am concerned with the derogatory remarks made towards Matt Smith.
I may not always agree with what Matt says, but I think his posts HAVE
been reasonably intelligent and well-stated.
Most of our posts are anecdotal in nature. Very few of us are
pontificating with reams of studies to cite.
Let's see, must everyone show his/her pedigree before being allowed to
post here (or be taken seriously)? Must one be a teacher in order to
post?
I would hope there is room for various perspectives and intellectual
discussions, without hostile responses.
Again, I have only started posting recently and I don't want to create a
war here (although that can be fun, too, for a brief period of time).
Perhaps I'm unaware of some past battles, but it does seem like we can
discuss and disagree without being disagreeable.
