It doesn't matter. You aren't under oath, no one is going to persecute you for miswording a simple statement. The important thing is that you're here and you're participating in the conversation people are having. That matters.

The forums aren't solely a vehicle to make current events known to devs, and I've never had any trouble finding suggestions, discussion or feedback, so what would be the point?

EDIT: What I mean is I don't think that would address what I was saying in my previous post.

It's more about the tone than the accessibility.

I've been having some back and forth PM's and emails with Bex about this, and with all due respect I think you're wrong.

That's fair enough. Bex would indeed be someone who has given more thought to forums than I have, so I'll defer to her.

I actually did talk with her after posting that and I was going to remove my post, but it got quoted before I could.

My original point was more that I go over everything in the forums, so if I'm not replying it's usually nothing to do with whether I've seen a post or not. I definitely worded that badly.

The thing is, forum threads can be really loaded and accusatory, so posting in some of them can feel like I'm on trial.

I like talking about my work and I want to answer questions (within reason), but I don't want to spend an hour agonizing over a perfectly worded justification post every time.

Reddit threads are mostly just "here is a thing, comment on it", which is a bit more inviting.

My PM inbox is always open though.

I don't think saying someone is wrong about something is "putting them on trial". It's not a big deal. I post things that are wrong too sometimes, we're all humans (I hope). What's the big deal? Do people on reddit just not say anything when they see something they disagree with or think isn't correct?
