Diamond is obviously confused by what the acronym PEN-L stands for.  He thinks 
the "P" stands for Platypus.  

Steve, the Platypus people have their own list where they welcome this sort of 
obfuscatory, pseudo historical-philosophical blather.  

Here in the reality-based community, words like "authoritarian" don't usually 
refer to people who win four elections and encourage grassroots popular 
mobilization.
