One really hates to be crude (to come across as crude) and unfriendly, to approach an issue at such a pace that whatever that meant to be both intelligently and benevolently delivered comes out and sputters as merely alienating - and I am certainly a victim of my own perplexities.
Everything I said, I mean - certainly - and will be held accountable to these opinions and actions. We all have lots invested "in things," as they say, and my argument, still to be adequately articulated, is not with this list or anyone on it.
More adeptly said: when one attempts to broaden discourse there is the difficulty in expecting too much from many might just not get it .
In a round-table discussion in Kolkata a few weeks back, I was honored at being able to sit with a truly brilliant group of individuals and talk about "text" and this caste called "poet".
Anyway, and providing few signposts, again an apology is offered. As said, we all have quite a lot invested in things.
Regards,
Alexander Jorgensen
