Not Scholarly?

I discovered a nice little delightful astrology blog today... the blog's mistress had copied and pasted my article on Mercury retrograde into her blog.

While, for many reasons, I prefer that folks not do that sort of thing; she, however, had done the good karma thing of giving me credit and a link.

Following my article, she then suggested reading another, more scholarly, article on Mercury retrograde.

I was devastated... not scholarly? Not scholarly! My article not scholarly!

According to Merriam-Webster Online: "characteristic of, or suitable to learned persons" Hmmm...

My article on Mercury retrograde quotes: an ancient Roman maxim, the authors Arianna Stassinopoulos (Huffington), Dr Murray Stein PhD, Dr Jean Bolen PhD, and Richard Idemon and discusses the weighty psychological concept of "honoring the gods" propounded by Swiss psychiatrist and founder of Analytical Psychology, Dr Carl G Jung MD... and yet it's not scholarly? What's a guy gotta do?

Granted... I do attempt to piece together a good many of my astrological diatribes in such a way that they might be construed as being somewhat humorous and entertaining... but not scholarly?

Then I went on to read the article that she considered to be more scholarly... and so I think I'm becoming more and more comfortable with my articles not being thought of as scholarly...
