Rosalynde Welch takes on Mormon Stories

[_harmony]

These people are pissed that Dehlin has the respect they don't . It's just jealousy.

I think the anti-Dehlin crew has the respect of their peers. I think most of the world doesn't give a flying rat's fanny, though.

*style note*
For those viewers in the UK 'fanny' doesn't mean what you think it means...

...and people who know how to write don't pretend (and fail) to sound like Foucault.

Foucault is the last person on this earth who I sound like, or am trying to sound like.

I think I'll have downgrade the general reading comprehension and language usage level in this forum from 7th and 8th to perhaps 1st and 2nd, just to be sure there's no child left behind.

And all this because I told the simple, unarguable truth, that Scratch was an evil little pustule? Perhaps this was an uncivil and uncalled for demeaning of pustules, for which I apologize. Is there a pustule rights movement out there you can appeal to for redress of grievance? Can I be sued for pustule harassment? Am I now a pustulist?

I have been reading Rosalynde's stuff for a long time now. I was surprised by this article because she is usually a better writer than that, which did make me wonder whether sour grapes were influencing her.

However, my impression (just from reading her postings on various blogs) is that she tends to be fairly conservative/traditional on most topics . . . although she doesn't shy away from edgy literature or art (e.g., I recall that she did a great interview with Neil LaBute a long time ago for Times & Seasons). I wouldn't call her a liberal Mormon. Has she ever called herself that?

That's good because you sound like Fenimore Cooper after too much peyote.

Such wit.

I don't give an aerial intercourse about what you said about Scratch. It's your absurdist parody of bad prose that I object to.

There are many shades of "liberal" in the Mormon world. Her shade seems to be common on the Bloggernacle. It matches your description quite well. It is edgy enough to wander past Disney media and Deseret Book, but not so liberal as to avoid the denigration of gay-straight alliance groups.

This is, of course, the written equivalent of "neener neener neener."

Angels above us are silent notes taking...

And there is a special notebook reserved for those who read not (well), neither do they write (well)...

How come I never know what Droopy is talking about?
