<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2837760, member: 15588&quot;]Thankfully, the vast majority of posts on Coin Talk, the ones that I&#039;ve seen, at least, are far superior to the writing of the blog piece posted. There isn&#039;t really a huge grammar or usage problem on Coin Talk, so everything seems fine. If the writing consistently stank, I don&#039;t think many of us would return. Plus, this is a forum where more laid-back writing is fine. But when you write something on a blog or in a magazine for public consumption, you should proof read and revise <i>at least</i> once.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hadn&#039;t read the blog post when I first posted, but I have now. Yes, the content is comprehensible, whether one agrees with it or not, but the writing overall was very substandard and sloppy, which makes reading it laborious. I don&#039;t actually know enough about the ANA to completely agree or disagree with the content, but it came across to me as a screed which became more painful the more I read. Like others have already said, I found it hard to take seriously.</p><p><br /></p><p>Add to that, I&#039;ve served on a number of Boards and every one that I&#039;ve served on has included someone very vocal who thinks the organization is going to the dogs and then claims to have all the answers and if only the organization would take their recommendations seriously everything would work out fine, but no one ever listens, etc. Such people also seem prone to rants and the post reads like such a rant. I don&#039;t know if the author is actually such a person, I don&#039;t know anything about the author apart from the post, but the extended tirade and poor slapdash writing makes the author come across as such a person. That&#039;s too bad, because I believe the author has something to say underneath everything, and could have expressed the message more concisely and convincingly with a much shorter second draft.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
