| Tune out after a minute of unexpurgated expounding. Simple reallly is better. And...people actually READ it! |

| "Simple really is better. And...people actually READ it!" If that's true, your posts must have huge readership, because they couldn't be more simple. :-) |

| This has got to be one of the dumbest critiques ever. I'm surprised you found such a straightforwardly lucid post so challenging. | |

| "More like pedantic and over-written. But that’s just me." I don't know if it's just you. But if words, phrases, and concepts like "breadth of feeling," "narrative clarity," "plainly and fully committed," "thoughtful and smartly conceived," and "viable but wan" turn you off and/or leave you confused, that's probably not the case for many other readers. |

| Even autocorrect changed it to “limbs”. But The post was understandable and actually gave a better idea of the feeling of the production than most posts. |

| Nothing pedantic about the OP’s post. I would call it succinct and spot-on. As for “limn,” it’s definitely not a word you read every day but I’m sure it’s figured in reviews and other pieces in publications like The New Yorker or The Atlantic. | |

| I agree. It wasn't the case for this reader. The writing was clear and precise. Then again, I was an English teacher many years ago. | |
