>Bob Dylan said, "to live outside the law you must be honest"--dissing >criticism without showing real knowledge of it seems less valid to me than >it could be...will I think this is in response to what I wrote, about skipping the critics and just going for the text itself...I didn't mean to "dis" *any*body, critic or otherwise. I freely admit that I have little to nil knowledge or experience with the critics; I was simply saying that my brief experiences with criticisms have done very little for me personally. If I offended you, Will, I didn't mean to, but I don't think you had any reason to be offended in the first place. Am I reading this all wrong?
