I came here looking for a Rationality Quotes thread to quote that in. :)
I’m especially sensitive to it because I spent a lot of time last year reading postmodernist literary theory, which rejects logic in favor of rhetoric. They support theories that have impressive-sounding words because postmodernist theory says the point of theory is to have fun rather than to understand things.

Do they really admit they are just trolling? :O
In literary theory that might well be true :-/
