A collection of responses:
1) Lou Proyect, who was kind of accused of wasting list bandwidth and
the attention of members by Ulhas for his (Lou's) movie reviews, is, as
far as I can tell, not posting from an AOL address. Nevertheless, in a
bizarre and churlish as well as strangely pompous set of posts, he
suggests that he in some manner owns a thread, and calls us idiots for
not changing the subject line of it, though it neither identifies him
nor his blog.
Dude, I don't want to waste my time opening emails that have Jared
Diamond in the subject heading but are about some other stupid shit.
Just take the fucking trouble next time to change the heading if you
want to change the subject.
2) He feels that I have no interest in his views on the Jared Diamond
matter but instead used his post to "drape some rather shop-worn
ideological garments on".
bleh-bleh-bleh.
With all that out of my way, I want to add one more thing: I do not
consider this a spat between me and Lou Proyect. I continue to find his
writing interesting, I have quoted him on my own blog, and my response
was written in fundamental agreement with the section of his blog post I
quoted (and with the rest, implicitly, in their omission). Lou might
consider me an idiot (or my response idiotic), but I am now finally old
enough not to care.
I don't think you are an idiot. I just think you are lazy. It takes 2
seconds to change a subject heading.
