I did not see the original of this because I have had back trouble that makes sitting hard, so I have deleted a lot. But this is very unfortunate, and especially since Gunnar usually is very kind. I think, however, it is a not surprising outcome of the increasing personalizing of debate and discussion that I find not only ungenerous but ridiculous since we do not even know each other for the most part except as Eliot readers. I never have understood why members of the list make personal attacks and often mean ones on people they have never met and know nothing about except their texts on Eliot. I am not condoning what Gunnar wrote, but it is by no means the only or the most egregious comment I've seen here. It would make this worthwhile if we all stepped back and remembered why we got on this list and made a decision to focus on Eliot and poetry and not each other.
