Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

I was right!
We're getting complaints about this thread becoming toxic when someone's disagreed with.

A goal of any of these threads seemed to be, "Let's not get it closed for being out of control."

Just a friendly warning it may be starting to shade in that direction.

@Ruby What is the point of making statements like these? This is an observation of the obvious. He knows he doesn't have the perspective you have, it doesn't need to be reminded if you aren't going to elaborate to actually explain what is going on from your perspective. Simply commenting on the difference in perspective is like acknowledging a lack of transparency and then continuing to not be transparent. Obviously in Kangaroo's case if there is personal details related to why he left in the first place that shouldn't be shared, but the details of why he was brought back on couldn't be particularly exposing. None of the things you made these comments about seem to be subjects that you can't explain. Maybe Odin would get off your back if things were actually explained instead of just acknowledged to exist.


The point is try to shed more light on the points I addressed. I went into as much detail as I was comfortable: yes, the Co-Admin has changed things. Had another site staffer made the same comment? I didn't see where they did and if they didn't I wanted to, because there has been a difference and someone should say so. Ditto with the activity levels of Mods.

Do you not know more about the topics than you did before I said something? There's your point. Again, as predicted, I doubt those that feel entitled to knowing more would be happy but at least I put out the information I was comfortable putting out.

Kangaroo's issue is different. He asked if there was a rational reason; so I answered that there was. It's Kangaroo's business, so that's about as far as I'm comfortable going. The reason he came back is tied to the reason he left, so you'd be very wrong in that assumption that it couldn't be exposing.
