Wow! Great comments. Much appreciated. It was not clear to me why I'm often clumsy on the internet, but get along great, even with rivals from competing labs in real life. Yup!
But that presents me with a catch-22. I've chosen at this point to remain anonymous. So if I present credentials, they could be made up. I see two options, reveal name or present all info with copious references, so anyone can check them. But I get the problem of the stranger-teacher.
Okay, need to resolve that.
I edited the first bit a little, but you may think of everyone one line as being on the autism spectrum. As we have been robbed of many of the known factors and behaviour indicators we take for granted when communication in the real world. Too many factors to list but a little thought should reveal them so no need for me to list them all.
It's the barrier of the Internet, what it gives in one hand it takes in another.
The devil is also assumption and just how reliant we ALL are on this when interacting with each other both online and in real life.
Well if your famous then it's a issue other wise I don't see the problem. If you identity will restrict you honesty somehow then fair enough maybe a conflict with you professionally?
Some credentials, background and then you could leave the rest to time. That's the slow way. You have to earn the respect of others I guess especially when they are of similar knowledgeable standing claimed or other wise.
Not a problem for me, you seem like a good guy. You just have not thought about the dynamics of this communication medium. I struggle too tbh.
You have the wil to communicate, the will to be understood and are inclusive, wanting to share knowledge. To me this implies humility, your also self questioning and reseptive to challenge. assuming you do have the deep knowladge and understanding you infer I for one am very pleased your here.
Got any friends lol we need more.
