Our editorial and publication process is unclear to anons and vols.
Are articles posted on Citizen Op-Ed and Op-Ed Journal automatlcally published?
Knowing that their submission has made its way out into the world could be a great motivator to writers.
It is my fault, anon.
The comment >>2380 was mine, and the article that eventually got published was my doing.
We are in a growing phase, learning by doing. Sometimes I'm the one who looks at submitted articles and makes suggestions, sometimes not. Your draft article was important and timely, but for some reason I was mentally unable to process it when it was submitted. Many distractions. I'm trying to help the War Room launch into a full-blown organized team and it has been very time intensive.
Mea culpa.
I hope you will not be deterred from further contributions. ABCU needs all willing researchers and writers. We exist to serve the commUnity, not the other way around. If our service is not up to expectations, we hope to continually improve until what we all are doing together is effective, as well as gratifying to everyone.
I am sure your draft write-up sat in the back of my mind simmering until it boiled over because of my state's mask order, which infuriated me, and that's what inspired me to pull material from the COVID-19 thread, including yours, and write.
Thank you for the opportunity for frank open dialog, fren. Keep telling us what we are not doing well until we get it right.
