This style of rebuttal article has me too jaded to focus on the topic and see behind the hegemonic politics.

I would have ignored the post and not commented except that the referenced R. Martin article is the same style of immediate reference invocation diatribe and they both suffer from the same short comings. Turtles all the way down.

Alas, this comment is more of the same, shame on me. Please learn from our mistakes.
