This made me laugh like a fiend. This from Doug Henwood, Mister Correction-Please himself? We who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm personally trying to find a way to take Jodi more seriously. It's not easy. There is indeed something about her stuff that's deeply off-putting, for me at least.

But at the same time she's obviously not a mere parasite like ZZZZizek, so I'm going to keep at it.
