True. And that appreciation for scholarship is what enables me to further appreciate that when one presents research, one is prepared to explain and defend it without resorting to namecalling. Appreciating scholarship means asking questions and seeking clarification, not just taking something at face value.

He was asked to provide his working definition of the word "elite." As far as I can tell, not only did he never define that term, but he called those who questioned it "rude." Nothing scholarly about behavior like that...

ETA: I do appreciate the time that oldu puts into these lists and I have found some of them to be very interesting. But I also think that people have asked some very legitimate questions that deserve to be addressed.
