I offered Two sentences and a YUP!

YUP! But it wasn't novelists talking, it was Critical Theorists and Literary
Critics. And the "decline" began after the war or Post Modern.

Next,  I attempted to explain away your explanation of what those two sentences and a
Yup! were meant to convey. Please allow me the opportunity to explain my two sentences
and a Yup! OK? It is my sense that we have a real difference of opinion on this subject
and that's a good thing as far as I am concerned. Now, can we agree to discuss our
differences and perhaps learn a little about this very complex and long debated topic?
If we can, we can go on. If not, I will squirm away with my "yup!" and you can raise a
glass to your  "not so!"

best, no offense taken
