Sometimes discussions get messy. Sometimes we are often cheeky and ironic. I have a lot of friends on this list who are in publishing and offline discussions are equally raucous and emotional on both sides and yet we all remain affectionate and respectful of the hard work each does. And in the end the conversation always moves to "then how do we fix this so both can thrive?"

This is not an easy business to be in. But if we're going to effect change, each side must feel free to present their perspective in the hopes we can find some middle ground.

Sometimes an attack is not an attack - but merely an observation or the sharing of a real-life event in what I hope is a safe environment. I hope on this list we can all remain respectful and agree to disagree. ….Christine
