To everyone in class on Thursday (11/3)
So, class turned into a shitshow today. I feel bad that it got so out of hand because I know that we all deserve more from each other and ourselves but -- once pitted against each other, we ended up in a weird mob mentality. Hopefully we can all regain our senses and not do that again. I guess, on my end, I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that if I offended them in any way, I was out of line. That is not the type of argument to die on -- especially since I don't even care about it or spend really any of my time thinking about it, and it wasn't even a valid argument, as both sides were "arguing" on completely different planes. Anyway: I hope everyone recovers from that. I, for one, feel a little embarrassed about it and hope it seeps into the oblivion of the remainder of the semester (come on Christmas Break!) (and yes, Christmas... but I'll concede to it being Winter Break, as well). :)

I found it to be an entertaining and productive debate. No apologies needed.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found it so. I felt, obviously, oppositely -- as though, even though engaging, rather futile as we did not come to any real end, as things like that are always ambiguous and often found in humanities courses (lit courses, specifically).
