(A) I'm responding to the link, which I included in my quote. A judge quit over the decision to honor Roth, spoke to the press and said rather emphatically that she disagreed with the decision because of her distaste for Roth's subject matter. Apparently, she thought Anne Tyler was a better writer.
(B) If "one" may offer personal reasons for finding Roth unpleasant without offending anyone else, then presumably I'm permitted to question someone else's logic without offending anyone, either.
(C) For the love of Millicent Oatquiver,
I was not being entirely serious (hence the snicker of my esteemed colleague).
