Up on the Malvolian heights Submitted by AWL on 15 July, 2005 - 6:19

I find it difficult to accept that Jim Higgins intends his piece as a serious contribution to the discussion. He merely regurgitates and reformulates much that he said earlier, and which I refuted and corrected earlier - on Deir Yassin, for example.
Higgins, I fear, confuses track-covering repetition with serious argument, just as he confuses oblique evasiveness with wit, and elephantine orotundity with a praiseworthy style.
Up on the oxygen-starved Malvolian heights, Hi ggins has adopted the late Healy s idea of a powerful argument - saying things twice or, preferably, three times and four times, at increasing length, lacing the polemic with desperate abuse, direct and stylish’. Like the late Healy, the late Higgins fai ls to notice that this sort of thing harms no one so much as its author.
