I can only guess that you haven't been following the en lin wei show, and the
shit-smearing that he engages in.  but no, now that you mention it, I don't
see too many scholars doing anything of the sort -- maybe you could provide
some specifics, name some names, etc.  TR, as you call him, is trying to make
a distinction that Pound himself made.  but I know of no one who doesn't
understand that Pound was viciously anti-Semitic, including TR, on whom
you're smearing a little shit yourself.  this fucking piousness is getting
really tiresome, especially by little twits trying to make names for
themselves at the expense of honest discussion....
