No problem with proper academics who actually contribute (a well-researched) something, the rest of us would be pretty much wasting our time without someone to occasionally pull it all together and see the bigger picture - I just think that a severe cull of the light-weights [and 100% of anyone who has ever been responsible for coining any '-ism' terms] is long overdue? And PhDs should be restricted to people who've actually contributed something new and useful...just check out the subjects many people get away with on the website of any of the Unis that publish them on-line...
