.... Mark, among the reasons I now just marginally participate in matters
technological is because I expressed myself, I questioned policy and I
suggested alternatives.
What I have received in return has been suspicion, misunderstanding,
de-validation, deception, verbal abuse, being privately discredited, and the
inability to see where any initiative has contributed to the progress of the
whole.
In other words, my experiences have been no different from any other
ignorant student who is learning how to learn so he can effectively teach
how to teach.

This is an issue documented way back to the fall of 2001, when we had this
on our new student levy computers at our school and mentioned it on this
list. It was a huge problem. Our own solution was to just rip off the
poorly designed CD covers. Who's got time to wait for an analyst or Dell
tech support, anyway? We have had no problems since. I would recommend the
same for folks still having this problem.

Wes, thanks very much for your advice. But I wish this fear of speaking up
would just go away. It's an unhealthy culture where people are afraid of
expressing themselves, questioning policy, or suggesting alternatives. -
