What are some things you like but tend not to admit liking out of fear you'll be castigated?
Usually when I ask this kind of question I go first as a gesture of hospitality. But here my naked motive is that I want to castigate someone. Will it be you or must a stranger suffer?
Relatedly, how fucking great a word is "castigate"? It's a shame it means castigate. Rather than casting a gate across a fence, which is maximum punk rock. Because we think of casting as an offhand gesture. To toss aside a gate requires great strength. As well as disdain for bystanders. Perhaps it is this that attracts me about the word and makes me want to castigate you.
I wrote this after finding out people tend to hate Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny. I refuse to say whether I agree with them.
Anyone who reads this and does not respond runs a risk they can probably guess.

So, here it is: deconstruction.

But also I'm immediately curious what you feel deconstruction is. The taking apart of the apparently solid world until one senses the presences false solidity exiles or supplants? Especially given your recent post, and some things I'm having to write about, I'm wondering whether some of the decon v. antidecon tension is happening because one group blurs the apparent because it feels home must be elsewhere, the other fights the blurring because it feels it wrecks all homes.
I remember you once agreeing with me about it being a sort of chemotherapy. Were you just being agreeable or have you since become more sensitized to the cancerous?
