Right on Terry!
When I read some of the nonsense, I'm inclined to become even more
abrasive! Nay, positively revolutionary!!
Cheers,

I'm baffled. Turn to him because he's healthily abrasive, or because he
isn't? Appalling because it would be better for them to be reading
aggressive emails about Shakespeare than thinking about world hunger?
Yours in hand-wringing bewilderment,
Julia

Oh no! Is Professor Hawkes to vent his spleen on Saint Bob now? And how
about the even more dreadful Bono? Doesn't he deserve a mention?
Gentlemen: I happen to be one of the ladies who regards a bit of sniping
as de rigeur in academia. I'm sorry Ms Amit has raised this issue,
especially as I thought she had parted company with us some time back.
It seems a bit rich to quit us in disgust and then return to bleat about
our collective behaviour. Whilst I think that a brief protest at
specific misdemeanours is sometimes appropriate (some of the
mud-slinging occasionally gets a bit personal and, let's face it,
tedious), I have a much stronger objection to those listmembers who
repeatedly bang on at astonishing length about their own personal
obsessions (Shakespeare the covert Jew, for example). Their tone is
civil, but their assumption that they have the right to bore us all is
another kind of rudeness.
Let's please give Hardy the respect he deserves for the immense wisdom
and forebearance with which he moderates the list and exercise our right
to ignore or argue with any contributions that do not suit our personal
tastes.
