I don't understand

The amount of flack I've gotten for wanting to teach about Forge theory without arguing about it. Do people not understand the difference between a polemic and a teaching text? Or do the simply not recognize the latter as having any value?

Feh.

Also, folks may think that any teaching text is secretly:

1. The Doctrine of [livejournal.com profile] benlehman
2. Just an ego-trip that they wish they'd thought of first.

But yeah, I'm with Kil on this. Ignore the whiners. You're not doing it for them, and there will always be whiners.
