Dear Reader

Well, I would hate for anyone just to read and enjoy my work absent critical academic examination.

LOL!

Consider it a compliment. All great works of art and literature have all been analysed and discussed.

Would you rather have people open the thread and think to themselves, "That's an awfully long post to read.", and then not read your work? Would you rather have them just make sarcastic comments without actually reading your work?

One of the points to writing an essay and posting your work, was so that people would actually read it and form their own opinion about what you wrote. Some will take it for what it is and just enjoy the read, others will choose to discuss your work.
