[HacktionLab] Fw: Fw: The booklet

[John Hodge]

Looking at the whole project as an outsider, I think the small anecdotes and real-life examples of those blurbs are a novel idea to link the stuff you're talking about with actual scenerios - they work because they make it all less abstract for new people. They aren't too 'preachy' Ben.


That's fine, but the deaths... I hate to be a bore, I hope you had a good laugh doing them - often when writing SchNEWS we put bad taste or un-PC jokes in, piss ourselves laughing, threaten to leave em in, and then pull them out at the last minute because it was fun doing them, but it wouldn't be fun having all these moaning gits and jobsworths having a go at us about it.

Cheers
John H

I was talking about the deaths needing to come out really, but I recall now we said that the deaths made the stories so ludicrous that it added to the humour rather than appearing preachy. I've lost any sort of opinion on this now.
