I'm just trying to inspire some scholarly rigor on your part, CFL. I'd expect nothing less from people scrutinizing my own Substack posts with a critical eye.

I'm just trying to inspire some scholarly rigor on your part, CFL. I'd expect nothing less from people scrutinizing my own Substack posts with a critical eye.
Fwiw, there's nothing especially edifying about pointing me to an opening table of contents page.
In my own posts, I supply primary source links and/or bibliography references, with page numbers and pdf names- or direct links, if possible. An act of courtesy, to the readers. People actually willing to read long-form post content deserve all the courtesy they can get, in this day and age. It's implicitly patronizing to present them with information that they aren't able to easily confirm for themselves. Especially in the age of hyperlinks.
I have to note that I've disabled all comments on my site, for the time being. That's intended as an effort to limit my own problems with preferring to exchange news and views in comment sections over shaping up Substack posts of my own! But, you see how it is. It's a terrible weakness- almost a "disorder", one might say. Like a Funbridge addiction.
I'm tempted to take the easy way out and just do reposts of the comments on my own site, but I just have...trouble...doing that. It feels like cheating. The narrative arc is disrupted.
.My current plan is to allow post commenting on Iconoclasms/ADWJ site by autumntime. So feel free to write some up and file them away, as future replies.
