You guys can use me as a guinea pig. I don't give a shit.
I'm not posting these things to my private LiveJournal or Facebook, which would probably elicit head pats and belly rubs from an echo chamber.
This is a public forum, where all are free to criticize, question, and add to the discussion. That's the very point of an open and honest dialogue. In the marketplace of ideas, the good ones will win out, and the bad ones will be forgotten. If I were afraid of criticism, I'd keep it to myself. I put myself out there, knowing what comes with it.
The day I start asking you all for a safe space and begging for your approval is the day you guys can put me out back to pasture.
