40. Letters@globeandmail.ca

Published
12 June 1996

Does the use of personalised e-mail addresses assist columnists to sidestep public correction or accountability for their well-rehearsed, response-seeking outbursts as fearless crusaders in often fictitious hostile encounters?
In a second (cultural) theory-baiting column (On the Heurisitic Semiotics of Postmodernism- June 12) Robert Fulford reports that there were some 38 letters responding to his postmodern-theory-is-a-hoax column of June 5th -(The Postmodern Hoax Offers A Glimmer of Hope)- none of which appeared in your Letters section.
It’s hard to watch this cultural critic pinned beneath the fallen timbers of his own trade. We need help to keep our breakfasts down while we are made to suffer more of Fulford’s anguished anti-intellectual cries and calls to arms (strewn with his guarded selection of highlights from correspondence received). Please therefore provide us with a regular stomach-settling dosage of one or two full rebuttals per column in print as letters to the editor.
