Wasn't meant to be unbiased, just conveying my opinion.

And I never said he was being stupid by saying that, I merely pointed out that he was assuming green was going to win.

Wasn't meant to be unbiased, just conveying my opinion.

I never said you meant to be unbiased, simply that your post could be seen as such.

And I never said he was being stupid by saying that, I merely pointed out that he was assuming green was going to win.

I am sure you did not meant to but responses such as " Assuming, of course, that green wins,which it hopefully won't." can certainly be understood like " choosing green is stupid".

I am merely giving some advices to you.

It is not just the way you feel about how you write your posts but more about how these specifics posts will be interpreted by those who read them.

The post I quoted in my first message and the way you express yourself in it could be interpreted as an attempt to depict "Green" people in a bad light.

Of course, I am sure that it was not your intent when you posted it but, still, be more carefull.

Your wishes to switch to Free Market could be achieved quite soon, just be careful not to foil them by clumsy posting ok ?

Cheers to all Green and Free Market supporters

[GeneralTacticus]

Oh well, I guess it just depends on how you take it. I don't have a whole lot of control over that...

[Archaic]

When the hell did you get back Blackwell?

[GeneralTacticus]

Just then, it would seem. His first post since the 6th was right in this thread.

[Aaron Blackwell]

Yes, you do have control over that.

Simply take some time to think and re-read your post before clicking on the "submit reply" button, just to make sure you have used the correct words to ensure that your posts will not be misinterpreted.

[GeneralTacticus]

That changes what the post is, not how you'll take it

Certainly not : this next poll will come, whatever the results are.
Since Green/Wealth is proposed as a whole, I have the same reasons to poll this one that I had to poll FM 40/20/40 as a whole.

[Aaron Blackwell]

Wrong, it DOES change the way other people will see it.

Of course, there will always be people who will disagree not matter how you spell and choose the words you decide to write.

But you are not writing to these people, but the other undecided people that could switch their vote in favor of your opinions.

And carefull wording of your post IS REQUIRED in order to convice those people. Remember that these people are not in your head, and what may seem clear for you, it is not necessarly the case for them.

Thus the need to be carefull when choosing your words. Otherwise, they may make false interpretation of your opinion ... something that I think you want to avoid.

And thus my advice

Of course, you are free to ignore it, but don't complain to me later on if people misunderstand your words.

i dont know what is it with you people but if your are not fighting over FM vs. Plannd or FM vs. Green or Anything vs. Anything then you will fight about who some one says something....

[Lemmy]

...then you will fight about who some one says something....

It's "how someone says something"

[nuplicid]

Free Market!

...? I can understand that you would need to poll it for the next time the issue came up, but if Green wins, the poll results won't have much immediate relevance, which was what I was talking about.

Aaron, just a question. What exactly are you complaining about from GT's post anyway? It's not as if Pan isn't doing exactly the same thing, so why aren't you calling him on that?

[Main_Brain]

I'm getting tired of these constant "switch to... or we are all doomed" Polls.
These Polls come up far too often.
