Whoa!! And this from a 'scholar' who keeps on blaming me for not discussing content of
some essay (HIS essay, I add).
So let me get this straight:
for jim it's not okay to get criticism on the style of his essay, he then immediately
blames me for not understanding it, as if that had got any to do with, but it's okay for
for him to disrespect a book or something said about a book HE HASN'T EVEN READ!?!?!
At least I criticise what i've read, i advise him to do the same.
He just lost all credit i might have given him.
