I get your point, but let me say that as a participant in discourse, when the first thing you read is negative commentary on the nature / source / accuracy itself, and that commentary is long-winded (more than five words, say), it’s a turn-off.
That’s what I’m saying.
I’m drawn to read your words because they’re clear and well set out, but am not immune to the sinking feeling that follows the discovery that it’s a moan about xyz. I’d love to read your brief, critical statement delivered with some wit and verve, I’m a critic and I adore criticising, but if para after para is red-lining the initial post, it gets kinda old kinda quick.
Horses for courses.
