Sean, you miss the point. You can't seriously "dismiss" a philosopher until
you've demonstrated that you've tried to understand him (at least, you can't
do this and be taken seriously by thoughtful people). To those who've made
the effort (and who really understand the difficulty of these authors better
than you seem to admit, having failed to some degree in their efforts) you
really just sound stupid.
Kinda like Falwell complaining about The Last Temptation of Christ without
having seen the movie.
I've read some pretty intelligent critiques of Derrida. Yours, as of yet,
isn't one of them.
