I finally have to agree with Mr. Dolinin. When it comes to honor, decency, and scholarly integrity, he and I are on the opposite sides.

My opponent's personal insults preclude my participation in the discussion
of my work on Nabokov-L. I suspected before that our notions of
conscientiousness in scholarship are different. Now I know that they are
opposite. What is even worse is that our notions of decency and honor are
opposite, too.
I stand firm by every word I have written but if anyone but Mr. Shapiro
would like to continue the scholarly discussion, I am available at my
University e-mail address: dolinin@wisc.edu.
