That happens too

I feel for Henry Jenkins who got clobbered over the head on the Donahue talkshow. The public reception of the show probably wasn't half as bad as his own perception of it. I've had a somewhat similar experience, appearing as the only guy in a panel debate organised by a feminist magazine. I had my facts down, my theories sharpened and really, we were not that far apart, basically, I think, we're on the same side. And I really can't say anything bad about the organisers or the other panelists, but the discussion with the audience just caught me totally on the wrong foot and I lost balance immediately. That wasn't much fun, but hearing back about it from some people I trust, in retrospect I believe my performance wasn't as bad as I thought it was right afterwards.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
