Perhaps "beating a dead e-horse" or something.

Jason, I am surprised at your language here. There is no carpet-bombing go on, where, egads mate! And where is the fever pitch you speak of? Come on! And there is no talk of urgency on this, I always said that this will take ten to twenty years. I am really surprised at the negative, defensive reponses here. But it goes back I think to what Matt told me earlier:
"Danny.....Coming up with a new word for what appears to be an exisiting practice will always seem redundant to most people. .....But at this juncture anything that reminds us that there IS a change going on here, rather than allowing us to forget that our artifacts always have implications on our behviour and our thoughts, should be considered useful...... ....for now it is the discussion itself that’s crucial.”
Hold the fire. We are in this together.
