jayIt's past 2am... it is hard to believe that I've had a 20-comment discussion in my journal this evening (filtered) that is apparently about the appropriateness of using "IMO" vs "IME" in a comment that I posted elsewhere. That's just silly. No disclaimer here. That's the sort of empty thrashing that causes me to wonder about the value of the medium... it sidesteps the actual content of the message, instead picking at communication style.

Who knows more about how to treat a bad burn?
someone who owns a stove but never puts their hand ON the burner....
or
someone who owns 12 stoves and repeatedly burns themself on said stoves.
?
I mean... both have experience and opinions. Really, I think what matters is: who has studied first aid?
Can't we just agree that they have two different ways of choosing to interact with their environment?
;)
that comment is IMHO.

Date: 2003-09-05 08:34 am (UTC)well look out, becuase I have only a small amount of real life
data points to back up my ever-so-sensible opinions.....
;)
(that was a wink, and a smile, BTW)
(but the data points comment is nonetheless true)
