It's also possible that after all the years I spent with my head in a book / reading criticism / discussing / blah that I've just had my fill of this end of the spectrum...

Either way, much respect for putting it out there for us.... nuts on the block so to speak.... :D

I personally found it difficult to modify the very complex use of language in essays / academic discussions etc, so as to make it more accessible for the majority of people who don't want to 'work' to enjoy reading... if that's the best way to phrase it...

And.... I'm not saying I could do better either dude...
