Subject:	You may be right . . .
Message:
(unlike me, apparently). Tolkien very likely would have "despised" deconstruction, had he encountered it, the way he "despised" French food--he simply would have ignored it. But I don't see one who has actually read this discussion could boil it down to "deconstruction=meaninglessness" or "deconstruction=insensitivity to difference," and "No, no, no!" does not shed much light on where the errors lie.is a less than helpful comment. There is lots of crummy "deconstructionism" out there, but this discussion does not track it particularly well. Where have I gone (completely) wrong? Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Marx
