What name, what calling? Unless the academic world in US English
departments has become more closed than I last saw it, opinions
about the value of postmodernist philosophers are still permissible. I
haven't noticed the slightest tick from Prof. Miller when outrageously
false statements appear on the list. One might attribute that to
ignorance of the difference between truth and fiction, a far more
serious liability than the one attributed to me.
