sasghm@theseus.unx.sas.com (Gary Merrill) writes about personality
cults, wittgenstein groupies etc:

			... But look:  you just *can't* go around using
   words like "negligibility of Wittgenstein's remarks" and "has nothing
   interesting to say about it"!  These kinds of remarks about the master
   *cannot* be tolerated. They are evidence of *your* failure to understand.

Of course he can go around uttering anything he likes, but the fact
that those utterences are remarkably similar to those made by other
human beings in itself evidences *nothing* more than his ability to
repeat utterences. Until he provides supporting arguments for these
conclusive utterences, one has to allow for the possibility that he
has no idea what he is talking about.
