Refering to the last post by me: Well, my good friend, Peter Drayton, advised me to "live my life in public", posting original material and establishing an online identity and building. What he didn't tell me was how hard it was going to be (especially for me). When that site critiqued things, most people on the DM list clearly saw it as that. I always see it as a personal attack. That's been some of my problems on Radio too. I'm going to take a real chance here and bare the soul for a minute: I had a very negative childhood, beaten and always crtitized for everything. I have spent my life to be better than that but I sometimes slip. For those people who have gotten back harsh stuff, it wasn't personal. It's my defenses. I'm sorry for taking things personal. Anyhow, it's my responsibility as a Consultant and a Blogger to choose my words more carefully and be a valuable part of the online community and I intend to do that. Thanks.
Update: Dare Obasanjo turns out to be a very nice Microsoft employee who cares passionately about not insulting developers. He has given me some great tips on writing. Wow, this blogging thing is real. I have learned something today and we have found a way to work together.
