This is nice to hear:

Thanks! for today’s column on Cole. Brilliantly done, superbly executed–especially the way you used Cole’s own words against himself. Reading it made my day. I might add that the way this debate has
played out has larger significance than the argument between you and
Cole. Your besting of Cole in this debate has a moral for larger
questions regarding the the pretensions of politically prejudiced
academia, common sense vs. expertise, and others as well.
