[kwlug-disc] Meeting formats

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Watching a presentation has been discussed at KWRuby too, and I had
similar concerns as Paul. It feels weird to go to a meeting to watch a
video.

Buuuuuut...if it starts discussion then maybe it could work. I have
heard others mention in passing that it has worked. Kind of like a book
club.

I did not enjoy reading that response.
I think that it was both unkind to Paul and arguing against something
that he did not say.
He raised his own concern, and then indicated openness to scheduling a
video presentation if a video was suggested.
That can hardly be described as 'killing' the idea.
