To review:
Two claims were made.
1.) The academic members of this list are "lost in the world of interpretive
decuntstructionism."
2.) You do not need to be "knowledgeable" about an author before you can
criticize him.
The first claim, as we have seen, is demonstrably false. The academic
members of this list have never even offered a single deconstructive reading
of Salinger on this list, nor are they particularly active in the field of
"deconstruction" in their professional lives.
The second claim, I feel, is intellectually irresponsible. I will not debate
the specifics of any author's work with someone who begins from this premise.
Nothing more need be said.
All the best,
--John
