Olayinka,
The unkind word was describing my refusal as "escapist".
Yes, an artist, writer, etc, can double as a critic, but that is a personal choice, not a sine qua non.
You already know what I am and that is what I want to remain, so, when I read, I read as a reader, not as a critic. This position is however enough to enable me make informed comments on the materials I read.
CAO.
