How your mouth feels after eating too much sugary junk?
When I read this just a few weeks after MB admonished someone to "do some homework before passing opinions on matters out of [his] depth," my soul suffers from a similar overload, one of irony, that almost leaves me nauseous.
Apparently, we can now define "homework" as "skimming a 3-year-old conference program."
And that is all I can bear to say. Except maybe for a quick thanks to Trish Jenkins for being the first commenter.
Yawn. He can't even bother to get a version of this year's program; he has to "work" with from the same one he misread before.
'Gads. That was one of those moments I was embarrassed to be associated with The Valve. (Or to have be so fond of Bauerlein's Literary Criticism: An Autopsy.) (Although that book still resonates for me, inasmuch as it taught me how to be skeptical about theory anthologies and their organizing principles.)
Still, that wasn't the blog's finest moment.
I take it this means I can no longer cite Bauerlein as an exemplar of methodological rigor.
