[stylist] My thoughts Kuell Monitor article

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Eve,

You make a good point: religion is often brought up on this list whether
in writing or simple posts, and no one ever seems bothered by it. I have
no problem if people want to discuss religious beliefs, but you bring up
an interesting point. We can share opinions and ideas about religion but
not on other philosophical views?

Okay, before I get a post saying this is in deed not true, I'm just
making a point for discussion. And like Chris said, at this point, the
initial reasoning for this thread should probably be dropped, and we
should all move on. I think the posts that have branched off from this
discussion are great, but the original thread is probably going to lead
no where pretty soon.

Bridget, As a paper explaining your views on a particular political
problem that repeatedly comes up and stalls any progress in the group
affected; you were well written. We need to grow as writers and the only
way to do so is to keep writing. I also find that sharing is a great
tool. One type of writing tha is always difficult for most people is the
venting. Venting is healthy and helps get things rectified. When venting
is done in written form, it reaches more people and is more affective.
If you can not share what you write, even venting or ranting, with a
writers group then you likely could not share it anywhere and no
progress will ever be made. I thought your post was well written without
too much emotion tripping you up. That is always the big danger for me.
It should not matter if everyone agrees or not. It is just, whether or
not something was well written and could be judged in that manner. Also,
we are also a group that has its own politics with officers and board
members. We need to improve as best we could and learn from issues in
other groups. I am not going to censor you. In fact, I applaud you for
addressing a subject that seems taboo to so many. Politics is like
religion; people are scared to talk about it. I do, however, notice
religious references that are made on this list serve quite often and no
one says anything about it. Must be acceptable. Keep writing and being
passionate. Eve
