But a bigger problem is a lot of Philosophy student types write in complex, superfluous and obfuscating prose to try and show off/sound clever. ... I'm not sure if anyone's with me on this, but this tendency annoys the crap out of me, since it's seems so anathema to the whole purpose of Philosophical enquiry.

I agree. And formally invite anyone to call me on this if they think I'm ever obfustcating. I try to be clear. If I can't explain something in a simple way, then I probably don't understand it very well.
