One of the things that brings me joy with the site is when someone graduates from being a reader to being a writer. It’s happened a few times over the years and the latest is with today’s interview subject, Steven Shrager. It’s tough to go from writing 50-word comments to 750-word essays. And it’s even tougher when the only rules as a commenter are to be civil and not capitalize words to 100 different rules that are in place here to try and give the site a somewhat unified and professional tone among the various contributors. The biggest thing is to care and that caring shows up in many different ways.
As a commenter, Steven’s handle is NYM6986 and he’s been using that here since 2015. If you comment at the same site for years, that’s an indication that you care. If you follow the same team for a long time, that’s another indication. And if you can take constructive criticism and keep coming back with a great attitude, that may be the best indication of caring that there is. Steven wants to do a good job. And since he’s made that clear to me – in several different ways – I’ve been tougher on him than with many other people here.
