I am on an editorial guidance board for an industry standard. I think most of the rest of the board are leeches or dead weight. #dilemma
@hypatiadotca yes. it's even public, them clearly saying they are voting for X based on their company needs. #stillnotpublic

@attritionorg I don't even think it's wrong to state one's bias in advocating for things in standards; the dead weight is far worse. -
@hypatiadotca they stated their bias, without realizing they were violating the posted board rules of "for the industry". it's that bad. -
@attritionorg erk, yeah, that's bad. -
@hypatiadotca in that case, it is more "leeching off the benefit of their position", than the traditional definition we agree on -
@attritionorg it's similar to how journalism is supposed to be "unbiased". Everyone has biases :) -
@hypatiadotca my entire BH preso with@SushiDude is about "bias". we spend more time talking about that than anything else. -
@attritionorg@SushiDude cool :) looking forward 2 watching the recording. I'm chilling in the rainforest instead of baking in Vegas this yr

@attritionorg when I think leeches I more think people taking more credit than they deserve for the drafting etc -
@hypatiadotca usually. on a board, a leech is using their power to sway a decision for their own good, or their company.
