I’ve had troubles before, with people telling me I use too many unexplained acronyms - including my sister, who is a teacher of writing. As a blogger about a specialized subject, I’m used to assuming that people have followed the subject so I write in order to reduce the slog factor for them, but if I was writing for somebody like “American Thinker” I couldn’t get away with that.

I want the story to get out to people who are newbies to the issue. Even though he could have used context clues or Google to figure out the meanings or even if he was trying to be a jerk, I’m glad he said what he did because it sharpens my writing and hopefully will make it more digestible by the droves and droves of people who will be newly-introduced to this issue and this evidence. ;)

God knows what his motivation was, but the result will be better writing on my part (hopefully. lol).

You’ve made your reasonable position clear and I have no issue with it and thank you got clarifying it.

Brown deer apparently has another agenda
