1. Horsepoop. 2. You weren't writing about "people" you were writing about Chuck. If you want to write about "people", make that clear... but you're going to have to be specific and that will tame the snide/superior tone you take. 3. Believe me, this stuff takes no analytic effort at all. 4. Nice, but staggeringly lame and anti-intellectual, "you, pomo" slap... assuming, since you raised the issue, that you know the difference between mo and pomo, my point was ever so clearly rooted in oh-so straightforward modernist analysis. Some of us can tell the difference between being critical and postmodernism.
