I want to be clear here--particularly if I've given offense--that I don't agree with either Crooked Timber or Oxblog on that point.
Oh, it never even occurred to me that you'd agree with such a point! Always more than clear that this was NOT you.
You know, though, this brings up yet another reason why I, at least, prefer most of my intellectual stimulation in person. It's way too easy to mistake things and give or take offense in this medium. Frankly, I think that a lot of the bloggers (at least a number of those I've read) seem to think that's an advantage, not a drawback...
