That it was.
However re the so called "good old days" for me are not that good. I have been involved in this since 1973 and many in the critical community have been involved in infighting, ego back biting, and the like since then.
Read John Kelin's Praise From A Future Generation and you will see that this has always been the case. I suppose all groups are filled with divergent views and pet theories, but the ugliness between so many researchers is so characteristic of the critical commnuity that one has to question the sincerity of some. By which I mean is not the truth more important than your cause?
