After-After-Party Elsewhere, Hymns and Things
So the thread that Faust Mantock is now calling "an institution" (although, dear Scott, it would really love nothing more than to be an empire) keeps sprouting legs. If this sort of discussion interests you, please explain yourself precisely in the comments below, or better yet pay a visit to Mark Kaplan and explain it to him. 
Obviously, I would personally very much like to think that this sort of discussion, if held to certain standards of respect and openness (on both sides) can still be productive, as in, a good thing in the shared world. Now if you'll please excuse me, I have a bicycle to catch.

Comments
this is from YH's link to the "Everything Changed" post.
Lisa: Dad, do you know what Schadenfreude is?
Homer: No, I do not know what shaden-frawde is. [sarcasm] Please tell me, because I’m dying to know.
Lisa: It’s a German term for ’shameful joy’, taking pleasure in the suffering of others.
Homer: Oh, come on Lisa. I’m just glad to see him fall flat on his butt! [getting mad] He’s usually all happy and comfortable, and surrounded by loved ones, and it makes me feel… What’s the opposite of that shameful joy thing of yours?
Lisa: [nastily] Sour grapes.
Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!
perhaps under the influence of a more than a few of Homer's beverage of choice i wonder whether "sour grapes" -- the German word bien entendu -- would not be an appropriate name for a certain site/organ called "The Valve"?

What exactly would we have these sour grapes about? I can think of numerous reasons to object to the way in which theory/Theory's practiced in contemporary academia--literary studies in particular--but none of them involves me having sour grapes. Then again, were I as intelligent, insightful and erudite as you...
