Well, of course people are going to focus on the part they disagree with. Especially if:

-the rest of the essay is well enough written not to seem to need further elaboration.

-the one sentence they disagree with is not particularly integral, and therefore looks like a gratuitous slam.

-the rest of the essay is usually a position "allied" to theirs, so that the apparent slam also seems like a betrayal.

I went to look at the end of your essay, and to be honest, because in the added note you seem exasperated and condescending toward the people who responded primarily or only to the mention of H/G, I find myself uninterested in reading the rest of the post.

You are quite right--the ETA in particular was posted in haste and I have sorely regretted it ever since. I'm glad I had people point this out to me, and hopefully I'll be more considerate and careful in the future. I'll certainly try.

That was a very gracious response, especially since I realized after posting that my comment was too brusque to avoid being rude and intrusive. I apologize.

No problem! It's not the first time I've wished there was an "Unpost" button on LJ. :-)
