All I'm saying is that it's best to avoid language with a history; it's possible to make exactly the same argument but with neutral language; the result is a more powerful argument since it's devoid of possible cultural implications. Remember that we're all pretty much agreed that the book is flawed.

"There you go again" also has unfortunate connotations for Americans of a certain age; in any case, on its own merits it's a put down. In the interest of civil discourse, it would be better to keep this impersonal.
