[stylist] Workshop environment

[Judith Bron]

Bridgit and all, Usually when a person writes something it reflects an 
opinion.  Unlike other species, people have the ability to write, record and 
transmit opinions.  Often our writing reflects passionate opinions because 
that is what, as authors, we feel capable of writing about.  My opinion that 
the person guilty of murder and inflicting serious injury on others was an 
individual suffering from a serious mental disorder and not politicians, 
political parties or political organizations should not have been met with 
the venom that met it.  As a writing organization or list either we are open 
to the opinions that often make the difference between good authors and 
insignificant authors or we'll spend valuable time talking about irrelevant 
material in a complicated world where events influence the lives of everyday 
people.  Judith
