right. and earlier, in march, you wrote something similar, here:
> http://threads2.scripting.com/2013/march/imNotMakingBlogging...
but since then, you added markdown support, which seems to indicate movement toward writing and editing and publishing, in addition to the outlining.
further, you just recently retracted the march post, here:

and, as i said, i think your earlier take (in march and april) was more accurate, and that an attempt to go broader will cause fargo to lose focus, just as you said in the april piece. but, again, i would love to be proven wrong. because my tool-set attacks the issue from the other direction -- with a focus on the writing and editing and publishing of long-form documents -- and i've decided not to incorporate any outlining capability because i think it would blur that focus. but if your users can show me how to avoid that blurring, i will learn from them. but lacking that, i believe that (early) outlining is best seen as a good complement to (later) editing and publishing, at least for long-form documents.

well, dave, you probably cannot be expected to keep track of all the people you censor and block.
but you have censored my comments more than once, and blocked me on twitter.
and while i am quite sure that you don't have any _personal_ animosity toward me, since you don't even know me, the acts of censorship and blocking are _not_ friendly ones. from your perspective, you're probably just "protecting" yourself from us "trolls". but i'd guess that you can imagine it looks different from my perspective.
so no, i'm not gonna contribute to a listserve where you can censor my input. i'll stay independent, so i can call you out when you're wrong, and give you credit when you do good.
