JOLLYBLOGGER: explains that a genie has been let out of a bottle with blogging. We get to read people who are working things out and whos ideas may well change. This is good in my view but I agree with David that we need to be careful not to treat our latest idea like a fixed dogma of truth.
“We’re living in a world full of unfinished thoughts, incomplete paragraphs, and fragmentary setences. The owners of these unfinished, incomplete fragments need to be very circumspect about publishing them. If you publish your process it will be criticized, so be prepared. And similarly, if you are reading someone’s process, cut them the appropriate amount of slack. If they portray there process as a finished product then you have every right to jump and scream if the wheels are falling off. But if they acknowledge that they are publishing their process, then interact with them conversationally and helpfully, rather than blasting them.”
