There's that word again.
I want no part of this trite discussion.
My only observation was that Orban is a terrible writer.
Davis Morris asked me who read such crap and I answered
virtually nobody. I hadn't even read jbor's comment. Always
save them for last. Unless Dave is a very fast typist he probably
spend more time typing the quoted paragraphs than Orban did
composing them.
Routledge will publish anything. If you don't believe me look
at the descriptions of their current offerings.
Obviously no one would deny that GR shows an on-and-off concern for
"the Other." That's ethics, Holocaust referenced or not.
Now please leave me out of your tiresome drivel.
