I'm not going to be chased away from this place by my own petty anger.
What annoys me is that this place, the OU blogs, seems to have become a course forum for some courses. Why does that annoy me? Because you have your own course forum, why do you post course-specific stuff here? Why is that every third post is some mangled Anglish that says nothing, explains nothing and is un-understandable to most students? Are you so stupid that you can't create a wordpess blog? Or use your course forum?
Yes, I can scroll past. Except that isn't the point is it? If I'm screen downing I'll miss stuff, the stuff that I want to read because of the [meaningless to me] screed of tripe that you've written to impress, who? The worst thing is that you are suppost to be about eLearning and yet you can't explain one thing [online] to fairly clever people.
Why? Why are you doing this and why when we complain do you say, "shut up"? Or ignore us entirely; Apart from Jon I can't find one instance where one of you has commented on another person's blog, or have replied to a comment on your own blog unless the comment was from one of the cabal.
[You don't read what anyone else here writes:- broadcast. What do your elLeaning principles say about educators who broadcast but don't recieve?]
Come on, one of you must have the bravery to poke your head above the parapet and say that I'm wrong in anything that I say here.
Otherwise you a just cowards.

Hello there,
I'm not sure that they're cowardly... just that they don't read what anyone outside their courses say. That and they're too busy making those big posts every day.
I have to agree that it's gotten pretty overbearing though.

Well said, my friend, well said. XNew comment
Well, I must say it is a relief that you haven't flounced off in a huff. Between yours and Stacie Pridden's blog I'd be lost for interest on these blogs.
It's the 'slice of life' I'm after to keep me at least casually interested in the OU now. It's the 'juice' of a person's motivation to spend valuable time and money on HE, when they could easily be doing other things.
What are they saying about part-timers in HE now? A drop of about 40% in merrye olde englande? Cannot be healthy (yes, even for you Scots).
