[ExI] He's Back - Carrico's continued ranting

[Natasha Vita-More]

I do not think Max, Giulio, myself, or others, have a tainted view of this
rhetoric. 

But I suppose one would need an understanding of psychology, and even
academic scholarship, to see this. The humor, in all honesty, it is not
delightfully funny, but mean-spirited and undermining.

And it cannot be interpreted as postmodernist academe because a
postmodernist would dig away at more complex issues and toss in a few French
philosophers, at the very least.

I dunno... I found it mildly humorous, although his logic is admittedly
pretty weak. I guess the rest of you have history with him that taints how
you see what he writes in this particular instance...
Must be a pretty lame guy for all of you great people to dislike him.
