Hi Wim, and all,
Just to clarify, I did not interpret Wim's post to dmb as a request
to stop contributing to the list entirely, but as a request to
contribute only ideas or comments that are not disgusting to Wim.
My point is that I find some comments by one or two members not only
disgusting, but vile. I do not, however, think it is within my
rights to ask them not to post such comments. My legitimate choices
are to either ignore such comments, or refute them. If people are
free to say only things I like to hear, then they have no freedom of
speech at all.
Thanks,
Mark Steven Heyman (msh)

Can you please take your 'war between society and intellect' with Platt off-list?' I trust that you don't misunderstand that question as a question to stop contributing on this list (like Mark H. did 14 Jun 2004 06:19:44 -0700). That would be inconsistent with the statement that 'I'll gladly discuss with you ...'. You answer is 'No' on 19 Jun 2004 14:26:54 -0600. I respect your right to think that the social and intellectual levels are related in a way that can be usefully described as 'war' (but disagree). I respect your right to consider your discussions with Platt about the relation between politics and the MoQ part of this 'war'. You both seem to think the other one represents (primarily) the social (lower) level in this discussion. It seems highly unlikely that you are ever going to agree on that. If I remember rightly, you have both stated that unlikelihood in your own words. Going on with this discussion on-list doesn't really help others to understand or develop the MoQ. It costs me more time than necessary to read your postings on this subject. (I do read them, because both of you make constructive points in your postings too and don't clearly separate your 'war' from what I experience as your constructive writing). If you don't agree with that, can you at least decrease the amount of 'gravy' alias 'fun' of belittling Platt?
