Tired of him, I let the above Mark Smith piece go. Iain Gunn of Elgin could not and wrote the above, slightly weary, response. It’s well worth sharing.
Gunn is clearly a man of great insight and taste, revealed by his use of the ideas of that great philosopher Bob Dylan, to finish Smith off. I’m reminded of how I used to open my sociology essays, back in the 70s, with Dylan quotes to try to impress the marker, not always successfully – squares!

Democracy don’t rule the world, You’d better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that’s better left unsaid. Bob Dylan
