FOM: hostility toward f.o.m.

I haven't read a single line of Derrida.  I have read a line of
Heidegger: "Das Nichts nichtet."  (Translation: Nothingness negates.)
That single line was enough for me.

This discussion of the history of deconstructionism is way off-topic.
Let's try to focus on issues that are relevant to f.o.m.
