[Buddha-l] Schopen gets a kicking

=========================

Someone wrote this http://is.gd/218GN review of a talk by Greg
Schopen which sounds quite straight forward.

But it inspired the about.com Buddhism 'guide' Barbara O'Brien to
write this http://is.gd/218R9 a few days later in which she
describes Schopen as a "crackpot". If you look at the comments -
way way down the page - she does concede that she over-reacted
and will apologize to Schopen. 

I picked it up on another blog, so the story is spreading... I
know all you academics tend to hate each other, but if Prof
Schopen has any friends here they might want to ask Ms O'Brien to
retract her article. I did.
