<p>Hope we cleared up some of the other stuff, I'm taking the piss more than might come across (despite emoticon fest) and while I do take issue with some things I certainly didn't mean to link you in any way with censorship issues at all.</p>
<p>Steve, your link isn't working, so I can't really comment but I felt the same way about your article. Valuable, interesting stuff but pretty average on the relevant / referenced stuff. Just an opinion though, as with everything it's your prerogative.</p>Chris commented on 'James Farmer gets stuck in'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d834aac9e369e22005-12-12T17:24:36Z2007-04-26T00:00:15ZChrishttp://blethers.blogspot.com/What an interesting exchange!

Seems to have involved some self-reappraisal too - or perhaps increasing awareness that whan is written is more dangerous, often, than what is spoken (unless, of course, you have a mike and an audience of 100s)</p>
<p>Personally, as a rookie blogger but a hideously experienced English teaher, I welcome advice from whoever is (a)handy (b) articulate and preferably (c) a good teacher - because these rare creatures make things clear!</p>steve O'Hear commented on 'James Farmer gets stuck in'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e200d834aad1d369e22005-12-12T10:18:32Z2007-04-26T00:01:09Zsteve O'Hearhttp://www.ohear.netIt still surprises me how much *noise* in academia (and this seems to have transfered to the blogosphere) is generated...<p>It still surprises me how much *noise* in academia (and this seems to have transfered to the blogosphere) is generated around the issue of who gets / deserves credit. I was recently 'told off' by Stephen Downes for not giving enough credit to others (or pehaps himself?), when an article I'd written explaining the potential of web2.0 (blogging, podcasting and social networks/aggregation) in education was published in the Guardian newspaper.</p>

<p>The whole point of such writing (and much of the work I do) is to make all of this stuff more accessible to practicing teachers. Now Ewan (who does a better job than me) gets the same from James. Brilliant!</p>
