from my latest furthfield critiquer article:

"Narrowband approach to information production + reification – email lists 
such as fibreculture, nettime and empyre - closely align themselves with 
this linear information/discussion trajectory. This closed communication 
approach is the opposite of the notion and execution of communication 
holism. Contextual orientations may be offensive to those immune to more 
open-ended approaches to meaning construction. Narrative 
dependents/advocates need to locate their traditionalist-tilted 
perspectives inside established frameworks. Those advocates of narrative 
[rational adhesive] stick to theory/chronology/linear/rational/Socratic 
method/reason, allowing no discourse reactions beyond these channels. They 
expressly will not relate to the possibilities of context 
[contextualisation is viewed as pointless, limitless, chaotic, disordered, 
risky/experimental]. This indicates the antithesis of nodal [free-form 
branched context-feeding], which often seemingly digresses from [rather 
than towards] an associated train of thought."
