Frank, To some extent, your response is indicative of the psychoanalytic ends I criticize, the mommy-daddy-me Oedipal construction. Rather than pick up on the opportunity presented by the conversation to engage in an act of creativity (contributing to a forum), you use your agency to make an authoritative (daddy) appeal to an object away from yourself and your agency (the Wikipedia article). This action strikes me as functionally different than Glen's earlier reference, say. While Glen's appeal acts to ground and facilitate a living discussion, yours aims to end one. I felt that the question I asked was fair, to hum a few bars regarding a connection you are making that perhaps could contribute. If this sort of short-circuiting of concepts and conversation is what I can expect from practitioners of psychoanalytic theory, well, maybe it's not for me.
