I refuse to pick on others spelling and grammer because before I
couldn't spell injuneer, now I are one.

As for his writings - I couldn't stand that unorganized runnon mess he
calls a website.  I did see them, but I have never met a reputable
person who considered letters to the editor as "publications".

And I will agree - his arguements are depressingly weak.  And oh look
- in addition to teaching english he also teaches debate.  God that
school must be hard up.
