No you weren't. You were doing to David exactly what you do above and to others who do not share your very idiosyncratic reading of Eliot. You misconstruct what your opponents say, while sliding sooner or later (sooner in my case) to the implication that they must themselves be antisemitic if they disagree with you. I do not think you can break this pattern in which you habitually present yourself as someone who bases her interpretions on actual reading and thinks for herself, while explaining disagreement with you as clear evidence that others are locked into preconceptions and morally flawed. hh ..................................................................... --- from list phillitcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
