Reply To: JCCC4: Post Mortem (Feedback Thread)
Maybe we need to take David Rees to the Supreme Nautical Court and have Judge John Hodgman rule on whether Twit-Arr and CruiseMonkey are a part of the spirit of the temperance brigade, rather than letting a citizen — no matter how influential — decide that unilaterally. 😀
I am totally on-board with the idea that we nerds should avoid the temptation of phoning home, checking email, catching up on reddit, etc, and just be in the moment of JCCC. However, I feel like shipboard communication is a part of that “being in the moment.” Even if something cool is going on in another part of the ship while I’m busy, I can see people post about it and feel a little bit a part of it. I feel like I’m more a part of the Seamonkey Collective, rather than less, when sharing and reading things on Twit-Arr.
