This is totally, completely crazy.

Jerry has explained it. Mark Cashman, in his usual wise,
dispassionate way, has explained it even better.

The world is full of people who defend the integrity,
competence, and even the wisdom of those they disagree with.
You'll find this in science, the arts, even in politics. That
doesn't mean these people involved in an old boy network. It
means that they're honest. Honest, and I might add, not so in
love with their own opinions that they think they have to trash
everyone who disagrees.

Old boy networks (including old girls) really do exist, of
course, whether or not Jerry Clark and Bruce Maccabee belong to
one. And along with them comes another, related phenomenon, the
irrational, angry outsider, trembling with fury at a real or
imagined in-group, and so convinced of his or her own importance
that reason, common sense, and even common courtesy fly out the
window. Kenny Young and Jerry Black, it seems to me, are
stunning examples.
