... which still--quelle surprise--takes up quite a bit
of time. But that's my favorite, if something isn't
necessarily brought up here, it's being "avoided."
What ELSE is being "avoided" here? The vast majority
of the bulk of "the text," most likely, then. There
are those who whine when I start obsesing over each
and every detail I can get to. Me, I find that
passage quite interesting--astute, even--but keep in
mind "genius" need not imply "good" or "agreeable" or
.... But I just haven't had the time fo some time, is
all. Meanwhile, there are those who whine about long
citations here as well. "Avoiding" those passages,
then? No, this is bickering for bickering's sake.
Sorry, in a meta-argumentative mood, is all ...
