Yeh, to most of that. The abstracts are okay, by me, though not always relevant, as you have so astutely pointed out. The main theme of my whine is about the posting of long excerpts, especially those that include case histories. Unfairly used and invasive, they are.
I tend to agree on the other, at least I feel as if he is thumbing his nose or something. But that is the way it appears to me, based on how it effects me, or "us". I sometimes wonder if people do these *unacceptable* things hoping they will be accepted. It's like, maybe people just can't face that others won't see the world the way they do. Since they can't face it, they act as if people will accept it. River in Egypt - De, uh, Nile? Maybe there is no forethought toward "stirring things up" but rather a blind and misguided faith that they will find acceptance. Like, I'm really sure everyone will agree with all of this post...
