I gotta agree w/ you. Jolly's got some valid points to make, but he's
smothering them w/ all these ridiculous insults. And he's using a shotgun
instead a precision tool. Insults can be fun, but these are getting
gratuitous and over the top.. In the process his arguments about pomo are
being lost. I might agree w/ some of his ideas, but I'm not going to join
in a "discussion" which has sunk to this level of silly personal insults.
Too bad, 'cause he's got lots to contribute, it seems.
