可能是婆婆妈妈的或鸡蛋里挑骨头

I agree with summit\'s suggestions. Some time I find it\'s a little difficult to disagree with an answer without risks of hurting the answerers\' feelings, because there is not enough space for detailed explanations about why I cannot agree. In this situation, I often choose to post a different answer and give my explanations there. Even in making an agreement, I often find I am in need of more space to explain my reasons or add some more information. In this situation, I am a little hesitating and warring about if it is unfair to the initial answer, although I have done a few such postings when my long comments were cut by the system.



If we can make a full range message when agree or disagree with a posted answer, and/or if we can have a leveled commenting system that allows us to make comments on comments, we might be able to make a disagreement more friendly, rational and professional, and make the agreements more informative and more interactive.

Thanks to Mr. Fu



感同身受.



I believe most of web sites are limited either in storage space or download time (speed to view the web page) to operate a professional platform. Specially like Proz is trying to engulf most major languages as well as to encompass most popular subjects,the capacity it needs to operate must be huge.



If Proz would like to consider members\' recommendation, may be the issue can be easily solved by:



Embedding a \"button\" alongside the commentator\'s answer which could re-direct the interested party to a new page (either provided by Proz or commentator) for more detailed information.



In this way, the limited space provided by Proz can be used solely for commentator\'s summary. To any viewer, if not interested in that topic or comment can simply skip that \"button\".



The suggested solution can also help Proz to maintain its web site as neat, efficient and above all, reach its goal as to help peers to learn the meaning of each word from all prospectives. ▲ Collapse

Hello, Xiaoping and Summit,



It does take courage to disagree with someone. I was graded with “disagree” by the peers in the past. It did catch my attention and made me think. It did make me to be more careful when I post something. I believe that it is also a learning process when you can articulate the reason that supports your translation. I noticed Xiaoping is very good at that. It is true that “Disagree” is rarely used by our translators. It perhaps has to do with the Chinese culture which values to be able to avoid being confrontational. For example, whenever Xiaoping disagrees with me, he just posts another message next to mine, and offers a better way to say it.



I encourage everyone to speak the mind in our discussions. It is purely academic, nothing personal!

Dear Kevin,



Thanks for your comments and suggestion. One might simply shone away in silent rather than click \"disagree\". I do agree with you that we should all bear in mind that this is only a place purely for academic discussion nothing personal. ▲ Collapse
