“This review reminds me of people who say things like “Shakespeare thought that life was a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Who are such people? People who haven’t read Lear… or only read it as an assignment. Which kind of sounds like the attitude that Bruce read with here. I’m glad you provided the context Bruce, because otherwise I would now think much less of you as both a reader and writer than I do. You didn’t want to read it, and in my opinion, you essentially didn’t read it.”

For my part, I wonder how well you read Shakespeare. Not well enough, it seems, to know that the lines you quoted were from MacBeth.

I believe you have been hoisted, sir, upon your own petard.
