Stalinka Revisited

[Peter Scotto]

Tony is absolutely right on this.  

Quoting Tony Anemone <aaanem at WM.EDU>:

> I for one am very uncomfortable with the recent trend towards postings 
> that ask (expect? demand?)  that scholars provide "justifications" for 
> ideas which might cause "some emotional distress" to their audience? It 
> reminds me of other fora in which people are forced to acknowledgment 
> errors, mistakes, a lack of appropriate sensitivity to others' feelings 
> or sufficient respect for  political  shibboleths, etc.  All this reeks 
> of "samokritika," and, needless to say, has nothing to do with true 
> scholarly debate.
