I was talking to one of my friends about the site the other week and she mentioned that she wanted to make a comment, but she was afraid to sound stupid in front of the “smart” people already in the discussion. That made me a bit sad, since that definitely was not our intention in making the site. I don’t want to dumb down what I write, since I have too much respect for you guys, but at the same time, the last thing I want to do is to load my posts down with wordy jargon to sound pretentious and stroke my Internet ego (e-litism?). That was part of the reason for the “Authority” post, though that one was mostly to try and rustle up some more links for the resources page.

Whenever you say something, I expect (and certainly hope) that you will be judged based on your ideas. There are things that are right and wrong, no matter how po-mo I’m feeling. However, people who judge you based on how you say it are pricks. So speak up! The more people involved in this, the better it gets for everyone.
