pynchon-l-digest V2 #1717

[Doug Millison]

This (below) would be a fine sentiment to keep in mind, and act on, 
next time you and Kai want to gang up and attack Terrrance, or 
anybody else, for discussing the critical reception of a fictional 
character in a Pynchon novel, using the occasion to launch an ad 
hominem attack re some sort of trumped-up charge of homophobia or 
whatever. I find it hilarious that rj would complain about 
"denouncing them as "wrong" or telling people to shut up" given his 
history of hounding first one and then another P-lister who has dared 
to disagree with him re Blicero or any other topic.
