I have opinions
Many. On many topics.
They all mostly respect the following rules:
they’re mine
- nobody else’s
- yours may differ and that’s fine
- they’re not my employer’s or customers’
they’re open to debate
- it’s part of the publishing game - but if you debate, play by the debate rules
- a person is not a single thought - nobody is a piece of shit for an opinion
- I wrote them to share so I feel either entitled to them or curious
- I might change my mind. That’s what people do when they learn.
they may be wrong
- they may reflect lots of ignorance on a topic
- they may be badly written - even if you don’t like my words, perhaps we agree
- they may reflect a different point of view - many things depend on circumstances
- feel free to politely correct me
- patience, politeness but most of all proven facts can change my opinion
- I’m not so important they should be enough to upset you
- if something is wrong enough, we should talk over a nice tea or beer
