Okshevsky Memorial University ================================================= ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 11:33:59 -0500 From: D G Myers <dgmyers-AT-TAMU.EDU> Reply-To: "MPL: the meta-discussion of PHIL-LIT" <META-PHIL-LIT-AT-postal.tamu.edu> To: META-PHIL-LIT-AT-postal.tamu.edu Subject: Bad Writing Contest Forty-two Phil-Litters are now subscribed to the "meta"-list, which seems sufficient mass to support a discussion. Privately, Walter C. Okshevsky has complained to Denis Dutton about the Bad Writing Contest sponsored by PHIL-LIT and _Philosophy and Literature_. Two of the new Advisory Board members, Mirembe Nantongo and Nancy Strickland, have suggested that the whole issue should be discussed on MPL; and I agree with them. To that end I've asked Walter to spell out his objections to the Contest. There is no real reason to wait for Walter, though. If others have objections, they should feel welcome to lay them out. Perhaps those who wish to defend the Contest ought to wait until the critics have (or at least have begun to have) their say. --David <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> D.
