no more tiresome than the passive-agressive, "call me a right neo-liberal 
but, here's an article or here's an idea". no more tiresome than Pope 
Carrol's ex-cathedra pronouncement. No more tiresome than my defenses of 
sociology. no more tiresome than those who police the boundaries of what 
constitutes proper left thinking.

etc. furthermore, get used to dennis's attitude. if you're a leftist or an 
academic or both, that's the culture we swim in and the issues dennis 
raises ought not be ignored because ignoring them is part of the reason why 
the left gets nowhere, not all, but part of the reason.
