Which direction should we send our warrior?

C'mon lads lets calm it down and keep it simple. We all want the same thing at this stage, we all want to explore and see the best way to expand. In the meantime lets discuss what we may do in the future without getting pedantic and bogged down in crap.

I am happy with and agreed to almost everything you said (and I also read and understood Tiberius' suggestion about presenting the ideas in a more lucrative way), but I have to comment on this part:

Even if this suggestion may sound absurd to you (taken wordly), it is just a call for common sense. Picking up on not-exactly-precise-to-a-word formulations is just wasting everyone's time (yours included).

When I work, I often interact with people through email, which is very similar to what is happening hear. Based on this experience, it is very difficult for me to sign up for this "don't ask for precise wording, common sense will tell you what they mean" approach. I find it surprising how many different "common senses" there are. When someone says things like "this is obvious" or "this is the only way", that is a red flag to me, because that means that that person made some implied assumptions that he didn't care to share (because he thought everyone must think the same).

I hope that this gives some background and explanation about why I am "nitpicking" on things and voice assumptions about your (or anybody's) posts that you think should be clear you didn't mean if I only used "common sense". I clearly went overboard in this regard, and the lesson that I learnd so far is that this is not a major concern to people here, and therefore perhaps it shouldn't be to me either.
