You need to read more carefully Alison. This sentence does not say that the
"I in the theater" is not problematized: "The I in the theater is certainly
interesting, but it is not the problematized lyric I this discussion began
with." The sentence deploys the definite article carefully and comments on
the shape of the "discussion," since as you were kind enough to inform us
yesterday, this is a discussion list. You appear to be looking to take
offense. Perhaps you liked the list better when you "ran" it. That's the
word you used in a post yesterday, not a word I would use to describe
whatever it is that I do here. And by all means if this list is too
"slumbrous" for you, then, yes, you should leave. We would hate to think we
were boring you.
