Hey Paula!! Thanx for your comments!! I used to hang out in the Goethe Institute in London, when I was living there....I will check your links in a second...thank you so much for posting them!
Maybe it´s a German thing. If you listen to the members of parliament in the Bundestag discussing issues, they often start by seemingly insulting the opposition. (although "today in parliament" is also not much better). My lit. research made it clear to me, that the subject of transition in Germany was actually prompted by a question asked by the Bundestag. (Drucksache 14/6693- Ausbildung, Umschulung und soziale Absicherung von Tänzerinnen und Tänzern http://dipbt.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/14/066/1406693.pdf) Maybe it´s a German thing to prompt growth in others by first criticising them? Having read a lot lately, makes me believe that.
The little birdie doing my homework is Bert, who has been living with me since 2007- a super little animal, but then- don´t we all say that about our pets??!! He is indeed quite real- judging by the necessity to mop my desk after he flew away ((O;
Dear Adesola, maybe it´s the late hour, but I cannot find your Skype name in the handbook to save my life...can you just add me, please? ("fionedarby") Cheers!

Thinking about the advocacy issue - how do other authors in your field negotiate this? Is it like arts criticism?
I wash I could put images up here - yours is a hopeful note and great to see - is that a real animal?
