1) personal experience

As am I. I understand what Mike is attempting to do here, but I hope it doesn't change what I think was one of the best parts of CG. If people can truly refrain from attacking each other in the other section then perhaps it will have been worthwhile, but after day 1 it doesn't look likely.

You are not wrong. It is a bad idea. Whenever I see the term "academic approach" I cringe. Out of curiosity, how do we differentiate between the academic approach and the pretentious approach?
With "intellectuals" both approaches are often intertwined.

Which of course is mostly displayed by "intellectuals" like I've already stated.

Anti-intellectualism is also a vice, perhaps one as big as pretension in intellectualism.
