Caveat Lector

Now and then, a blog leaves my blogroll because I know full well that reading it is going to raise my blood pressure. (By no means the only reason, but it is one.) Most of the time, CavLec is an inoffensive sort of place that doesn’t stir that kind of reaction in people, and I like it that way.

Recently, however, I think CavLec stirred up more systoles than it should have. Since my own readings came back to normal, I’ve been trying to figure out how to apologize for that. I currently figure that I can’t wait any longer, even though I still don’t know.

So I’m sorry, Liz, Alex, AKMA, Naomi, Turbulent Velvet, and others. You were right; I did indeed fly off the handle, pin you unfairly into uncomfortable corners. I will try not to repeat my mistakes.

Which isn’t to say I will never again say a negative word about academia-the-system or (specific) academics. But you knew that.

I still haven’t linked the comeuppance that T.V. gave me. Glad for the chance to rectify the omission. I also discovered Timothy Burke and Gary Sauer-Thompson through this unpleasantness, and I value both discoveries.
