It didn't begin with Bill and Sulan, waxing so poetastical about we know not what that it appeared they had discovered that very thing their sex ed. teachers had been trying so very hard to conceal. And it won't end with our latest find, an SF bloggodude with a serious case of prolixitis, who seems to have made a similar discovery:

These onanistic forays into (what is in fact post-radical) avant-guardist posturings merely exacerbate the second condition: an equi-vocity or flattening of value, whereby "everything" is on the table and up for grabs. Not only in terms of stylistic elements (whose potential hybridization I find tantalizingly fertile)...

No, no: it began long before, when architects first got the notion that, because they could draw, they could also speak, and, god help us, write. Jargon!—The Devil made us do it, they say. But we will tolerate no excuses. We will, however, tolerate your help. No, we crave, rely on, and welcome it: Send us your tired, your poor, your words yearning to be free. Send us the best (read: worst) jargon you can find. Scour your friends' files! Rat out your bosses! Make your studio critics look stupid! They only have themselves to blame.
