[Frameworks] Response to Gene Youngblood

[Kim Knowles]

?This is the kind of vitriol that once made me leave Frameworks. I came back because I missed the otherwise healthy exchanges, the generosity, the sense of community and shared interest. It's disheartening to see it once again descend into hostility and name-calling. People have different opinions - surely there are more productive ways of expressing / negotiating them??

gene owes no fucking apology in any way

you on the other hand need to do some hefty work on yourself - obliviousness to self critique is a frightening place to even witness

a hearty fuck off to you sasha

your rhetoric wasn't "excessive" it was offensive.

Mr. Youngblood,

Clearly my rhetorical excesses with regards to "Wavelength" offended you.  However, turning a critical disagreement over a 48-year-old film is no excuse to attack my ability as a teacher or to dictate my "responsibility" to my students. I will chalk this exchange up to your passion for Snow's work, and not an inherent rudeness of your character.  I accept your apology in advance.

Yours,


Sasha Waters Freyer
