Printed in full, including the paragraph I disliked most
What they say
That last month's piece mistook the loss of a particular way of life for the loss of a good one, and did not distinguish them.
Why it is printed whole
Because editing a criticism to its most agreeable parts is a way of not answering it, and readers can tell.
My response
Next month, having thought about it. My first reaction was defensive and my second was that they are substantially right.
