"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Rule #1 About Writing Controversially
Never let what someone says about what you wrote bother you when what they're saying doesn't addresses what you wrote and (1 b) the idiots who are agreeing with him haven't read what you said. (1c) What you said is going to be misrepresented, that's a given. When you write what liars don't like, liars will lie about it. Just keep on as if they hadn't.
Another brouhaha at Eschaton, I presume....
