Actually, the worst thing that Ravi did was to comment on a paragraph of 
a much longer post that was intended to deal with the problems of 
anthropology. But he obviously had no interest in what I wrote and just 
used it as a peg to drape some rather shop-worn ideological garments on.

And, frankly, it still pisses me off that people still use Jared 
Diamond, etc. in the subject heading when nobody gives a shit about what 
I wrote.
