Hey, comrade, I actually do read the stuff. I've read Derrida, and
Deleuze/Guattari, Foucault, Lacan, Zizek, Butler - the whole damn gang. And
you know what? I think their styles are one of their problems. That style
is a sign of self-referentiality, arrogance, artifice, and even a little
fraudulence in the cases of D/G, Lacan, and late Derrida. How curious that
you seem to become what you criticize, Oh Revolutinists of Buffalo!
