I hope I didn't come across the wrong way - I'm not trying to slam anyone or toss them out. We have a large number of forums covering a wide range of topics and the OT forum is filled with people who love a good philosophical debate, so I suggested that a philosophical post might be better suited there. The originating post doesn't seem to have much to do with the craft of writing - the ideas behind writing, character, word choice, plots, themes, authors, books, etc. - but it is similar to some of the posts I've seen in the OT forum (this is not meant in a bad way, I hang out there, too) so I gave my opinion that it might fit in better at the OT Forum. If it were a big deal, I could be heavy handed and move or lock the thread. It isn't. I didn't. I just gave my opinion. (Even mods get to have opinions on occasion.) There's no reason for apologies. -Klaus stated an opinion, you stated an opinion, and I stated an opinion. There isn't even that much disagreement between the opinions. (Well, if you want to apologize for unnecessarily apologizing, I can accept that.) ;-) The weekend just isn't coming fast enough! Cheers!
