But it is a confrontation. There are interests that conflict, and not both are going to be fulfilled completely. To pretend that it is not a confrontation is dishonest.
Yes, of course, if two people have conflicting interests, then no one is served by pretending that their interests are the same. But it's important to me that the conversation not be a confrontation -- I think once two fans start regarding each other as adversaries, then the conversation is already in trouble! I would rather assume that we're on the same "side" and see if we can find a way to understand one another's point of view, instead of going into a conversation with the assumption that it's going to be confrontational.
I'm at work today and my online time is a bit limited, but I wanted to say that we appreciate your feedback on this policy, and we'll do our best to take your concerns into account as we tweak and polish the policy over the next few weeks.
