I find it very annoying when individuals within a 'system' present themselves as speaking for everybody else in it, because I think that's dishonest - if they expect to be considered and treated as individuals, they need to act as individuals, which means speaking only for themselves.
For the record, we use we a lot, and do speak as a 'unit' on many occasions. this is mostly because we do often agree, and posting the same thing twice with different journal just seems mildly lame. I figure if we've reached a consensus or a statement is accurate for the system (or those who generally fall under 'we' as the system uses it) then there's no harm done at all.
Also, we of the drug use say thpppt ;) Not that we don't take our own various issues into consideration when we view our own opinions (because we do, especially Selene and her anxiety), we simply don't think it affects our beliefs etc that much.
