This reminds me a bit of my reaction to movies that get boycotted by
certain groups.  When I see people with picket signs standing outside
of a theater, my first reaction is always to buy a ticket.  Typically,
what I find in those situations is that the movie has real substance
and an important message.

PKF's reaction to Popper also reminds me a bit of the reaction that
late 20th century composers had towards Wagner: love-hate.  Love him
because he's so great; hate him because he overwhelms your sense of
identity and point of view.  PKF's remarks about KRP had more to do
with finding himself than they did with serious criticism of KRP.
PKF was clearly KRP's brainchild.

Besides, why would I want to go and read Popper if his thought is so evident
in Feyerabend's stuff...especially considering the incredible disdain heaped
upon Popperians throughout all of PKF's writing?
Sorry if I've come across as a bit of an asshole here....I swear that when I
get round to discussing other e-mails (I'm talking about YOU here Dr.
Muller) I'll be a bit more serious.
O.K. That's it for now....

Yes, as long as you ratain your critical faculties, your sense of humour and
a burning interest in serious problems you don't need to read Popper.  But
check out my overview of his ideas in the link below.
