Ethical Diversions

[Dave Monroe]

It's because you took it upon yrself to pre-emptively
striek at a book you demonstrably know nothing of, and
predictably so (just as David 'n' Paul fell
predictably into their usual roles in these little
exchanges as well).  That I posted on it no doubt only
fueled yr fire on that one.  Had ot been Doug, well
...

Again, this is a predictable, well-worn pattern, up to
and including this "Who, me?" "plausible deniability"
moment.  There's something about even mentioning the
Holocaust in the same breath (or titles, as the case
may be) and Gravity's Rainbow that for some strange
reason sets you off, to the point where you can't even
wait to hear somebody you HAVEN'T yet pissed off on
the topic (not to mention somebody not here to speak
up for themselves, so ...).  And then there's whatever
you hold personally against me ...

But, by the way, so far, the chapter has been largely
about temporality, de Certeau's tactics, Levinas' (via
Wyschogrod, Caputo) ethics, and so forth.  Will post
therefrom as I find the will, see the need, get the
chance, have the whim, whatever ...

And, no, not offended by yr reading of GR, of Pynchon
in general, such as it is.  Actually, I've never been
certain what YOUR take on GR et al. is, as I just
don't have the patience to sift through all the
bitching about everybody else's here, so ... just
annoyed by yr ludicrously dismissive demeanor here, is
all ...

Where's the guy who would go out on a limb and go into
print making what he would claim if coming from anyone
else as wild speculation?  Pynchon perhaps influenced
by an Australian Nobel Laureate?  No less or more
convincing than some of the stuff I've floated here
(Herbert Marcuse, Mario Praz), but, well, much effort,
documetaion, though, imagination, even, there, so ...

Anyone else here read Robt.'s paper in Pynchon Notes a
while back?  A show of hands?  You see, I care ...
