Interesting. Seeing that there has been an increasing intermingling between ecology and the humanities during the last 20 years (at least since Bruno Latour became popular for better and worse) I bet he is just a stubborn old guy set in his ways and is more reacting to changes in his field than anything else. It just doesn't make sense that he would not understand what is going on with that intro no matter how annoyingly written it is at points.You're right, it is an intro. The blogger refers to it as an article, which I guess is close, if inexact. Looks like ecology is his field, which is funny, as that's my day job. Going on a rant about styles employed by people in other fields is a bit of a cheap shot. Maybe he needs to let off steam on the regular, as ecology can be depressing as fuck largely due to the forces described (if badly) by the people he's criticising. But digging a bit more his research history and interest don't run that way, he doesn't seem to care.
Seems like he was an outspoken atheist back when it was harder to be one so props to him, he can't be that bad and sounds like an interesting dude.
But, still, you don't want to come across as this.
