To hear the "Always Wrong" crowd attack something is a sure sign of it's validity.
Kind of like finding the NT Times position on an issue and always backing its opposite.
Still, the visual image of Alex "The Historian" Roland being pummled about the head and shoulders is a satisfying one. Now if someone could horse whip some sense into Mr. Easterbrook before his remaining credibility goes the way of Michael Bellesiles.
