Title: Who Are You to Criticize? Post by: the captain on January 18, 2015, 09:26:19 AM This morning I came across this essay about experts' criticisms of non-experts' criticism. (Got that?) It was published a few weeks ago in the LA Review of Books. I'd say its ideas are relevant to several forums here.

Post by: Lee Marshall on January 18, 2015, 10:49:29 AM Yes...OK...those, like me, who know less than the experts and insiders MIGHT still have something to contribute...or an idea or thought to spark a meaningful discussion sometimes...but... THAT was a hard piece to read. It was sleep inspiring. Might have been more effectively said in 2 paragraphs or less.
Gotta go take a nap now. There's football to be watched later. Title: Re: Who Are You to Criticize? Post by: the captain on January 18, 2015, 10:56:58 AM Well jeez, I wasn't nominating it for a Pulitzer! ;D

So yeah. All YOU experts...quit trying to shut us down on this strip where the road is wide enough to entertain multiple thoughts regarding Wonder Woman AND Brian the boy wonder. Still glad Kitty Kat got spayed and neutered. Title: Re: Who Are You to Criticize?
