And what kind of Gulag is that? One where the secret
police pick you up for doubting the existence of the
external world, take you into a cellar where you face
hungry graduate student TAs who studied with Robert
Brandom, Richard Boyd (actually a commie!), William
Alston, and other realists, and are subjected to
ruthless dissection of your premises? 

This is like something out of Monty Python, Mikhail.
"Ever was was afraid of Doug. He used . . . . sarcasm.
Synecdoche. Irony."
