Re: babies in the bathwater

Bah. Deconstruction as a techinque of literary criticism. No wonder
you dislike it. I don't blame you. I don't think that really has very
much to do with Derrida, though, as John pointed out in previous posts
-- even provided some Derrida citations, I think.

But I won't do that, because you also say things that are valuable to discussion, and I want to discuss those things instead of hurl accusations at you like "in favor of informed discussion" or "out of ignorance." Those would be fair, if the target weren't knowledgeable of Derrida and his ideas; instead, you apply these accusations to mean that you don't agree with someone else's own take on deconstructionism, even after he has been exposed extensively to this technique of literary criticism.
