Ten Answers with Fleecy Moss! : Comment 118 of 155 | ANN.lu |
Posted by the man in the shadows on 17-Mar-2003 12:13 GMT | In reply to Comment 54 (samface): This isn't meant for DaveP or Samface, but anyone who's trying to figure out why I'm against this form of "interviewing".
I'd rather not ask my questions on any web site, not even on Amiga.org for where I volunteer my spare time. I would rather ask my questions in a candid manor waiting for a "shock response" type answer. Many good interviews are based on such tactics. Essentially I would set the topics for which would be of the most interest to the community, he (fleecy) could veto any topics for which he didn't want to go into. With those topics, ask a few normal questions and based on the responses I would receive ask a couple questions that might stump him. An interview like that is not at all possible when filtering questions through a web site that can be picked through. It's like shooting monkeys in a barrel. The part that I really don't understand, all but two of the questions have been previously answered already, why waste those 8 questions on 8 answers that are already public information? The person doing the candid interviewing doesn't have to be me, as a matter of fact I would prefer not to do an interview with fleecy since most people think I'm either for or against Amiga Inc rather than doing everything I can to take a neutral stance to all this.
Another idea that would make this "interview" a lot better is to interview fleecy in the same way you would see the Charlie Rhodes show. Five elected members of the community to represent all possible sides and a single interviewer directing the whole meeting of the minds. That would probably be even better than my own approach through IRC.
In short I could go along with my questions and post them on the 1 web site to a public forum hoping for the slim chance of the more difficult questions being answered, or I could state the reason why I'm against this form of "interviewing". The latest batch of questions have also been answered prior (as of 12:23pm 2003-03-17 Amigaworld.net timezone). Perhaps I should go in there and start answering the ones that have already been asked and respond to them? Then again, maybe I don't have enough time to do just that.
I'm sure you already know my decision. Complaining I might be, but at least I have a valid motive behind my complaint.
GWBush steps up to the podium to give his address of the union and opens with, "Member of the press". That is not right. |
