Default Re: Who Do You Write For?



A bemusing dilemma! To proffer an opinion - dichotomising styles and writing for a diaspora and home audiences wins no favours with either, except where decipherable intellectual reasoning of the two can be asserted.

An extension of such rationale will require every form of writing to offer transcriptions or translations into "home" styles etc. A prejudiced reasoning will assume superiority of intellect where "home" writings are regarded as communicable but the reverse is not the case!

Would rather not be condescending in any approach but be safe in the knowledge that intellect is universal regardless of style, languange, writer or location. Reference points and theoretical sources may differ - justifiably so - but therein lies the object of any intellectual reasoning - a timeless mutual exchange learning ritual unencumbered by space nor distance! If intellectuals of the globe can communicate accross languages, cultures, philosophies, religion, race etc surely situation as described bears little merit as a dilemma.

To be elitist about it, intellectual cogitations is not necessarily the purview of the masses - that's what PRs are for - but rather for the consciously, discerning astutes who readily appreciate such offerings without pretentious shenanigans.

Without further pretensions, get on with it already! - except if there is some lingering megalomaniac persuasions to be assuaged!
