I'm getting free, topnotch advice about my scholarly prose from someone who seems to have never published!
This nugget fills me with gratitude (watch me quote it with care
):
"You're supposed to be a vicious and criticize the bad ideas out of existence."

The layers of metacommentary that are made possible by Alexander's stellar advice, I enjoy them so much! Nerdy, I know.
What if . . . it's the bad idea that scholars must fight viciously against each other that I want to argue out of existence?
What if . . . it's the bad idea that scholars must fight viciously against each other that I want to argue out of existence?
What if, then, . . . I've already done so by writing a whole research article about it, built on evidence and full of my cutting criticism, and gotten it through peer review, too, with the help of my vicious arguments?
What if . . . my critic Alexander is looking at this very article while he's trying to tell me who knows what . . . his pretty image a mirror image in another mirror, refracting?
James & Alexander: two men who haven't the foggiest what #genretheory is or what #writingstudies does telling me I do my research wrong, am fucking wasting my life, & can't see how tragic it is that I'm not studying "the important things" within "the grievance fields."
Funny.
Funny.
I have to admit, however, this thread was a pleasure to write. I'll reiterate my feeling from the beginning tweet: I'm grateful Alexander & James gave me the opportunity to write this. It is truly a joy walking circles around them sometimes.
