No need for apologies, Del.

Anything written by an academic is not really intended for public
consumption (though of course they love publicity if it happens).

I suspect that this is aimed at other academics to show  his
impeccable political credentials and to (hopefully) indirectly promote
French belle artes (we are much too serious to write this facile stuff...).
This from a so-called elite that leapt with cries of joy onto the sterilities
of deconstructionism.

With a bit of luck there'll be a response from fellow academics vehemently
disagreeing with him. The learned journals will fill with articles vying with
each other in pouring scorn and contempt on all that deny the obvious
truth of that particular contributor's view.
Bit like this board, actually.

Academia is  a pit full of rabid rats squalling and squabbling and only
one opinion matters - their own.

And none of 'em have ever written a word worth reading.
