Letter to the editor: Effort has been to challenge, not placate, readers

Qin Tang (“Searching for the Point,” June 27) apparently thinks readers neither “understand” my Bulletin submissions nor “enjoy” reading them. She then disparagingly implies that I live in an ivory tower (shudder!) and, even worse, that I lack “common sense.” This coming from someone whose platitudinous hearts and flowers musings are featured in the online editions of the Bulletin. That notwithstanding, however, it is not my intention to turn Tang’s remarks back on herself.
