“nuanced into innocuous irrelevance”

That’s my morning laugh, via K-Punk. I’m about 10 days late, but I haven’t been checking blogs as much lately.

“I want writers who have the courage to pursue their own lines. What’s interesting, I suppose, is the libidinal impulses at work in those who don’t want that – who would rather have a writer spending their time on discussion boards and in comments boxes defending themselves, nuancing their position into innocuous irrelevance, or effectively abandoning it altogether in the name of some vacuous commitment to ‘debate’.”
