I understand that. It makes me sad.

All right, but that’s what Segullah is, KHH, at least in part.

Adam, I wasn’t criticizing Segullah for not being those magazines–I was lamenting the impulse to separate and withdraw from forums that would like to have more conservative and moderate voices.

Dialogue, Sunstone, and Exponent II would LOVE to publish things like the essays that appear on Segullah; they end up looking less faithful in some peopleâ€™s eyes because they are (to a large degree) at the mercy of the submissions they receive.

They also love to publish things that aren’t much like the essays that appear in Segullah. No one makes them publish the submissions they receive, but they do. Its just silly to criticize Segullah on the grounds that its not Sunstone, etc.

Kristine, I think the answer is that the reputations of magazines, like everything else, are shaped more by the worst they’re willing to promote than by the best.

DKL, I’ve never used the word ghettoizing outside the bloggernacle. I think I learned to worry about the “Ghettoization of Mormon Studies” from Nate. The locution that annoys me most: “of late.” It makes me cringe, and of late I’ve seen it used even by some of the better writers. But thankfully not by Kristine, the best writer.

I pretty sure that I've seen the word ghettoization on the bloggernacle more than every other place combined. Or is it just me? Anyway, it brings to mind this cartoon.

I guess I”m less worried about the ghettoization of women’s voices than the spectre of LDS women drawing lines between themselves and their sisters, based on someone’s (whose?) notion of what is and what is not faithful. Dialogue, Sunstone, and Exponent II would LOVE to publish things like the essays that appear on Segullah; they end up looking less faithful in some people’s eyes because they are (to a large degree) at the mercy of the submissions they receive. I know this isn’t the topic you wanted to take on with this post, but it’s huge, and I hope you will address it publicly, either here or at Segullah.

Nonetheless, I add my voice to the chorus of praise for what you are doing. The writing at Segullah is exquisite, the thinking lively–it is a delight.

Huh! Well that just goes to show how little I know about sports.
