I don't understand

[benlehman]

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.

True enough. And sometimes the gorillas wear sheeps' clothing.

Seems like whenever Shreyas and I discuss the Forge nowadays, it's mostly to talk shit or gossip about people whose posts we find annoying or more misleading than helpful. But that doesn't mean we aren't heavily indebted to discussions there.
