It is good that someone who actually knows something about philosophy has taken the time to respond to the endless ignorant and error-ridden drivel produced by the University of North Texas fakers Frodeman and Briggle.   I don't agree with parts of Soames's assessment (as longtime readers will recognize), but it is far closer to the mark and far more accurate than most of what shows up in the popular media about philosophy.

UPDATE:  Frodeman, a "professional" philosopher (or maybe just a faker?), doesn't know what an ad hominem argument is!  Here's a clue.
