still standing/where you stand?

Everybody likes to quote Stein on Pound:

Met Ezra Pound. Didn't like him. Found him to be the village explainer. Very useful if you happen to be a village; if not, not.

Most everyone, when offering said quotation, seems to believe they thusly (or already) stand with Stein against village explainers.

Good comedy.
