[arg_discuss] whitepaper:wiki, next version

[Michael Monello]

I sense that people are feeling raw emotionally over the whitepaper  
and have stayed quite for that very reason. It is impossible to offer  
constructive criticism to anyone feeling defensive, whether that  
defense is justified or not.

I did not read any attempts to personally insult anyone in Brooke's  
email.

Since the whitepaper was published to the public it is appropriate to  
both criticize and praise it in a public forum.

If there is one thing I learned from the Blair Witch process it is  
that the only way to avoid criticism (constructive or otherwise), is  
to not release your work at all!

Best,

Mike
