A writer asked
for another writer’s opinion
on a public forum.
Many other writers
chimed in
with their opinions.
They were ignored
by the requester
…as they should be.
The question wasn’t addressed
to them
and the asker
clearly only wanted
a certain person’s opinion.
If you’re not asked
and it isn’t an open question,
save yourself
some precious time
and
don’t answer.
This simple concept
will free up resources
and decrease
your irritation.
