The Continental LJ Philosophe Hall of Shame
Folks, I consider myself a philosopher in the Continental tradition, and so I'll defend it against the usual charges of vagueness and pretentiousness, but some people are such fabulous tossers that even I have to draw the line. To wit:

He pretends to know a few things about Hegel, but then he recommend's Walter Kaufmann's (he misspells his name) book on Hegel. Wild idiocy. Then there's the implicit agreement with remarks about Hegel that are 100% incorrect. There's nothing wrong with being ignorant of Hegel; Hegel is really tough; but you have to be a moron to continue to posture around someone who actually does know what he's talking about.

There are a few gems in here, but my favorite is without doubt, "Strong situatedness, would be unrealisable if we were simply 'situated' in a location, but we’re not in a fixed situation, quite the opposite, we’re dancing."
That's the gayest thing I've ever heard, and I listen to both Erasure and Alphaville.

I'm still not sure what a "transcendental kernel" is. Maybe I should ask Orville Redenbacher.
