Hi Chris, I find your comment confusing on a few grounds. First, would you prefer that Z - and other outlets - publish only that which you like? No criticism, for example, of anything you find fine? A publisher isn't an entity that you apprec...

No - you are right, but it isn't clear how to deal with it. That is, when someone writes howver gently, however supportively, with some concerns - others can quote out of context. But - if we let that silence all concerns, then we allow the m...
