Abbey Road, Austin Ruse, and the new homophiles
I originally took issue with tone as well, yet upon closer evaluation and considering past as well as ongoing conversation involving Ruse and the Spiritual Friendship people, I interpreted the 'tone' as a matter of style - rather than a sneering attack. In Ruse's current article - that really is made clear. Sadly, some of his commenters go in for the kill, beating up on Eve Tushnet in particular. That is unfortunate, but Ruse does step in to defend his position, as in this comment: . . .Looking for the good and the common ground wherever possible. Good for Abbey Road. Am I a new homophile? Maybe.
