Laziness also applies when not being willing to put in the effort of signing up just to be able to post.

Sometimes, I am lazy and I don't go through each and every contribution just to check whether what I want to say is already said. If only there was a better way to check for duplicate sessions and contributions.

Inability to put words into text

A cool thing about this platform is that everything (except comments) will be editable, so even if your words are not great, but your idea gets across, someone will edit your contribution and make it the best possible version. We are working on building this functionality. Anyone will be able to suggest edits, the suggestions will then be peer-reviewed and approved by vote before they go live.

Because all ideas here are shared, it doesn't matter who contributes what. All it matters is that the idea ends up being the best possible version.

Good point. I never considered this because, for me, it's the opposite. I find it easier to take my time in coming up with a good paragraph of text. In-person or over the phone I need to be well warmed up to be able to articulate my ideas right. Even then it probably comes out half worse than text🙂
