If someone mailed you 55 pages* of unparseable nonsense steeped in pretension, and threatened that there would be consequences should you choose to ignore it, what would you do? The author decided to explain that he'd rather read articles by people he knows and by his students who allow him to make a living. He doesn't read things as part of an imagined "profession." He reads things relevant to his own life. It's about the ability to freely associate, and the ability to decide what is relevant to you, with regards to the "profession" of writer. Your interpretation seemed somewhat uncharitable. I don't think you're being particularly nice, either. * The amount was not revealed to us. But take it as a hypothetical anyway.
