I’m packing and getting ready for the big book launch over the next two weeks in SF and the Bay Area, so will keep this short.\u00a0 The schedule is listed below in my previous Peter’s Blog<\/em>, if any of you can make it to any of the classes or book signings. There are still a few seats left for the classes but you’ll have to call the venues for more info.<\/p>\n

But this week I think we’re going to have to address the controversy that emerged in the Comments <\/em>section of my last posting, thanks to someone named Scott007 and a few other voices, including another Scott — Scott123. It’s actually kind of exciting — apparently, I’ve pissed a few people off and am not sure why but would sure like to find out what I did (if you aren’t up to speed, please check out the Comments<\/em> thread in the recent Peter’s Blog — last time I checked there were 14 comments).\u00a0 So, what I’d like to do is open up the discussion here on this posting, via a new Comments<\/em> section, the one on this posting, and ask any and all of you to chime in.\u00a0 If I’ve trashed NY pizza culture, as Scott123 accuses, or passed on misinformation about pizza methodology or dough science, let’s get it all on the table so we can clear it up.\u00a0 Scott(s), how about getting specific and make your case — I hear that 123 is a well respected pizza authority so maybe I have something to learn from you. None of us have a monopoly on the whole truth and Pizza Quest was created to be a forum for the sharing of our mutual pizza journeys and celebration of artisanship. I’m open to learn from you but also would like to know the actual specifics of where you think I went wrong, rather than generalized attacks.\u00a0 The only rule for this discussion is civility — I reserve the right to edit out ad hominum<\/em> attacks, unnecessary language, and nasty language.\u00a0 But differences of opinion — sure, I’m okay with that. So, for those who want to play along, go ahead and express yourselves — but let’s do it respectfully, please.<\/p>\n

I won’t be posting another Peter’s Blog till I return at the end of the month, but will try to join in the Comments <\/em>section from the road if my i-Pad and local WiFi will allow it. In the meantime, let’s get to the heart of it — we’re on a search for the truth (or, perhaps, truths<\/em>). Let the discussion begin….<\/p>\n
