Re^4: A reply.

You make it sound as though I should not have done so unless I'm trying to convince you of something.

No. I was happy to continue the conversation and felt it important enough to move the discussion to a more prominent place.

I was just confused by your need to say you weren't trying to convince me.

That was specifically in reply to:

"... not only are you asking me to not just express my opinion, but rather work up a technical discussion to support my position"

I actually said that I would welcome your input with regards the current topic, module reviews, I wasn't "asking" you to do anything, nor trying to convince you to take part, simply that your input would be beneficial. At other stages of discussion I've mentioned that the maintainers/admins are open for help to improve the ratings service, or in fact that the service you envisioned actually already exists, so a mixture of the factual and my own feelings on the subject.

I wasn't "asking"

Okay, what verb should I have used in that sentence: suggesting; proposing; inviting?

Perhaps I should have used 'they' instead of "you"; and us/people/contributors & our/their instead of "me" & "my".

Nothing I said was personal. The venom was for the system not ....

Stuff it all. I hate it when a reasonable and important discussion descends into nit-picking "I didn't say I didn't mean" ....

Nazi! :) {explanation: I'm not calling marto a nazi; just terminating by Godwin.}
