I am as well, although there have been a few remarkably mistaken posts. |

Is there more to it than what is on the first post? |

Yes, there were. There were also claimed errors that simply...weren't. Walton was raising a massive red flag and suggesting that a decade's worth of work and intensely footnoted research was chock full of errors. It was, to say the least, injurious. It was, to say the most, libelous. I'm afraid I flew to the defense of my friend, and should have probably slowed myself down after the initial response, and taken longer to explore the boy king comment I found. I have no problem with negative reviews; I just find it infuriating when people haven't bothered to actually read the book carefully (Critic's Room, anyone?). But overall, the blogs have been interesting. |

The hits just keep on comin' . . . Keep checking the comments in the older threads -- the discussions continue in, uh, interesting ways. |

Balkanization can be a good thing. I am profoundly glad that the great unwashed are not polluting this forum, for instance. On the few occasions that I sully myself by reading any of the comments on CNN.com or LATimes.com articles, I always profoundly regret it. If there are any wise, coherent thoughts in there they are buried under an avalanche of fetid puerile hateful invective. |

What IS the difference between humor and wit? |

Agreed. Humor puts the onus on the artist; if the audience doesn't get it, it's their fault. Wit puts the onus on the audience; if they don't get it, it's their fault. Wit exercises the intellect and celebrates cleverness. |

The above was from me... once again the board decided to change its mind about whether I was logged in between the time it took me to the new post and the time I posted my reply. |
