Why you would link to that is beyond my comprehension.
 

Just linking to the, err, obits as they appear in the blogosphere.
 

I noticed you still haven't linked to either Spurious or wood s lot.
 

Your sense of discrection truly sucks; I'm removing you from my links.
 

err, discretion
 

Right, I'm back from watching Arsenal beat the Scouse in Hornby's Fever Pitch. No pleasing some people. I'm just reporting them as XSS picks them up. No PC filter here.
 

Interesting links; thanks. :-)
 

Your lack of a "filter" is itself a filter. Why would anyone with any sensitivity link to the likes of Daily Pundit who says, "I spit on his grave" at a time like this? Just wondering...
 

I would expect any philosopher's grad students to chime in about what great guy he was, but to really piss people off, that's the mark of a great philosopher!
 

Yes there will be plenty of chiming. And the more you dignify it the more it gains credence. Let people do their own technorati searches - they are entirely capable.
Sorry if I sound angry. It's been a long day.
 

I'd have to second some of the other comments. I was rather surprised at some of the cruel sites you linked to. I can understand some of the comments from the political blogs. Politics, especially the last couple of years has become very uncivilized. But I really was surprised at some of the vitriol, much of which probably is from people who couldn't tell you what Derrida was saying. Of course since they can't understand that is clear evidence that it is all nonsense. I'll have to give them a copy of Misner, Thorne and Wheeler and ask them to explain a few chapters. There's something rather annoying about people who take affront at the mere fact they can't understand and interpret it so personally. It demonstrates a rather grave insecurity.


Anyway, for anyone interested, I blogged on the death as well.
 

Some of the sites I linked to are cruel, but Derrida is dead--they can't increase his suffering. So it's a metaphysical cruelty, and as such merely exposes them without harming Derrida the person. It not only exposes their cruelty, but also that they don't know what Derrida said, and consequently, casts doubt on everything else they write.
