Or my favorite:
[S]kepticism about the existence of truth and/or absolute value, and our knowledge of either, has been a staple of Western philosophy in one form or another, from the Sophists to Hume to Michael Dummett. The problem with Derrida is that, unlike these other important philosophers, Derrida has no arguments that are both good and original; his case for skepticism is the stuff of bad sophomore-year philosophy papers.
My problem with Derrida is that he, so far as I can see, destroyed the act of reading for its own sake. While I'm not sure that's exactly technically correct — it's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

As I wrote, in part, on Leiter's article:
Leiter: "This isn't an insight, it's a tautology. Necessarily, every X excludes not-X, else it would not be X."
Ys truly: Since when are tautologies barred from being insights? A tautology is a pair of alternate phrasings of one fact; a different phrasing always carries different emphasis. An insight is not a discovery of new facts, but rather the revelation of the meaning of old, known facts.
