True. Apologies. My hope was people might follow the mention and that would lead to a blossoming appreciation for sequential art.pic.twitter.com/evmjB0NmWp

Nick, I’m sorry you think I appropriated something. As far as I can see, besides the term “unflattening” (which I’m happy to credit you for if you think you coined it), I see no connection. I read and enjoyed your book a year before this post, and tweeted/posted on FB about it.

I borrowed it from the library and read it fairly quickly. What I recall is it was about industrial consciousness. My post on Hobbesian conflict grew out of thinking I’ve been doing on pack experiences and rewilding of human experience in the built landscape. I see no connection.

Charges of appropriation are a serious thing, and if you can point to exactly what you’re talking about, and point to specific passages or clearly identical ideas, I’d be be the first to acknowledge any unconscious influence I may have been unaware of, and cite appropriately.

What I strongly object to is casual accusations like this. We all read and write a lot, and all our work is shaped consciously and unconsciously by what we are reading. To assume and assert malice without pointing out specific things like identical passages is highly ungracious.

You've been at the bottom of a drain spout like Nick is. I'm not and I've had made hasty responses. I'd be surprised if any of us has avoided that. Give him a minute.

Just want to set the record straight.

Cool. Not about subject/thesis - only timing & term. If no acknowledgement warranted then my bad and my apologies. Tw deleted. Oh - and comics rock. But looks like you knew that :)

Glad we could clear this up. I’d heard the term unflattening in technical engineering contexts like image file processing and programming objects from before your thesis, but I suspect the idea to use it allegorically was inspired by your usage, so thanks for that idea.

FWIW, I’ve been boosting and recommending your book ever since I read it, which is why I was particularly dismayed by your charge.pic.twitter.com/Ff1qeLzcIL

V kind - thank you! And I felt weirded out for about a year from seeing that piece, so feel much better to have had the conversation. As accidental and awkward as it began. Good thoughts your way.

Chalk any disagreement up to one of those nuance hiccups Twitter tends to cultivate.
