I am not hesitant to give opinions in person. But I have been hesitant to publish them online. I feel the many eyes of astronomers, many more senior. Judging any misstep I might make. Inconsiderate thoughts and just dumb arguments.
What you put online also holds permanency. Years later, I might have a completely different, hopefully wiser and more informed opinion. Old written arguments may make me look bad.
I am writing now because I accept this. What I will write here will be imperfect, and a snapshot of my thoughts in time.
I invite you to leave comments on my posts. Feel free to correct mistakes and add with your life experience. Please be generous.
