Whence comes John's phrase: ""call Jing names"? Is it sling? No. Literally, it is nonsense, since all calling involves the use of names. It is impossible to call anything other. The phrase is idiomatic, and really means, in his usage. "personal abuse." If he makes that charge, we shall deny it. We don't think he will..
He makes a great point of the fact that we once claimed to have caught the Encyclopedia tripping. The im plication is that he believes that work infallible. If so, we admire his naivety.
