No Vjačeslava Dombrovskia bloga - man īpaši patīk pēdējais teikums - izcila iedomība manuprāt:


"Hmmm. Something our dear Ahmeds doesn't understand is that good things MAY come out of of ten or (hopefully) more Latvians discussing matters in English.

You see, an important reason I write in English is that this is a screening device. I am interested in what some (but definitely not all) people have to say about what I write. Unfortunately, I don't always know who these people are, and I also don't want to spend time siphoning through delfi-like comments. However, knowledge of English is correlated with a certain level of development. Hence, I write in English.

Why screen? Because serious change cannot be brought about by one person, it requires collective action. Organizing collective is an extremely tricky affair, and sucessful collective action usually happens from small numbers of like-minded people. A prerequisite, though, is that these like-minded people need to know each other's ideas, way of thinking, etc.

So, my dear Ahmeds, I am afraid you (and the likes of you) are not my target audience here. I hope you won't see it as something personal, whoever you are. I will start caring for what you think, once you work through your inhibitions and get to the next level. We will talk then."
