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.
