A visitor to this website, Bruce Schmiechen, berates me for my "profound ignorance." You can read his (unedited) letter at Sages Pages. Of course I am not the least bit disturbed by this chap's charge that I displayed "shallow, right-wing triumphalism" in my previous Conning Tower, Leaving the Left. He knows damn well I ain't ignorant. He wouldn't be so agitated if I were merely some nutcase screamer. But my ignorance really isn't the issue, is it? I certainly don't want to argue about which of us is ignorant. That's a mug's game. I'll unearth the issues Schmiechen buried under...
