We also share in  a style of language and presentation that does not appeal widely. ET is not consumer-ready, and perhaps should never be.

It would indeed be strange and no doubt frustrating if we were to speak to each other here in soundbites and ad slogans. Do you think a discussion forum of any interest is also going to have wide appeal?

This is not in defence of an exclusive, elitist yadda yadda watering-hole for intellectuals. Just that it's not the job of a community discussion blog to handle direct mainstream communication. That's a whole other job on its own.

But I also see no reason not to discuss what you call 'soundbites and ad slogans' - as we do. By analyzing them we can understand why needed change DOES NOT happen in a one-person-one-vote democratic society.

There's the message, the messenger and the passenger. All  3 need to be discussed and correlated imo. But as I said, there are no clear reasons why ET has to be consumer-ready.

Incidentally, reducing an explanation of marketing communications to soundbites and slogans is a bit like saying the Tour de France is about tight pants and yellow jerseys ;-)
