So now the text is in the Analysis section, where it's appropriate, and also in the Trivia section, where it's not appropriate. There's nothing else in the Trivia section, but how does one delete a section?
Recently some lengthy meta I added about the violence and the ineffectiveness of the peace-love counterculture was deleted on these grounds: "Reason: This is actually pretty insightful but in the context of a list of tropes found in "Gimme Shelter", it's natter. This isn't the place for a longform discussion of how Altamont related to the 1960s as a cultural concept." I understand this but I want that section some place on the record. I believe Ellison's words and those of the man he quoted provide insight as you say. Can I put it in Trivia?
I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. - Tolkien Hide / Show Replies
