The eGullet Wars
Sorry for my bad posting today. I've been engaging in brutal Per Se discourse oneGullet.com. Very spicy stuff. Still stinging from this comment from the notorious Bux:"Your naive self centered reports were not without interest, but they didn't suggest an understanding of the food or the genre to me. I'd like to suggest you didn't get it and in that case it's an odd position from which to propound it wasn't mystical. While there's a sort of perfection in Keller's work, I say it was better described as cold, calculated passion. Have you read Michael Ruhlman's writing on Keller. I think it's presumptuous for you to hold your opinion so highly without doing the leg work to understand that which you don't get. The problem with your style of journalism is that you come to your subject with little knowledge and assume so much. The world is not such an obvious place and self indulgence will not earn you a discriminating audience."I think he just called you guys non-discriminating. Bastard!
