Transplanting a Seattleite

The final comment from the other party to this exchange was deleted because despite specifically being told that Nella was not my name AND being told that I refer to people by initials in this blog, he used my first name.

I can't tell if he's a troll or if he's really just that obtuse -- with academics, that level of obtuseness has to be allowed as a possibility. The not-name portion of the comment was:

"Anyway, thank you for the give and take. I'll leave my comments as they stand and see if our exchange attracts others. Thank you for beginning discussion of this interesting and, of course, complex controversial paper and topic. It seems like a thoughtful forum, so I thought I'd give it a try. Best wishes -- PJW"

I've really done a lot with this blog to make it clear that it is NOT a general purpose forum -- it is the personal (not private but personal) blog of a middle-aged married woman who identifies as on the autism spectrum. I opinionate here, so that I'm not tempted to opinionate elsewhere, where I might violate rules I don't understand. If you are tempted to contribute to this thread, keep in mind that you're here on sufferance not by invitation (unless you're my friend, either LJ or IRL), and I am not committing to being polite.
