Quoting Glenn Glazer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Cutting to the chase:
> 1) The slippery slope No, no slippery slope. Vexingly, I've just gotten through pointing that out: People of goodwill can distinguish the need of a friend to call attention briefly to something vital from random people's desire to babble continually about anything. It is among the more common technogeek psychological fallacies to assert that, because it's possible to have no sense, that nobody has it. Sorry, I don't buy it. > great tendency to produce disharmony Possibly. Not a sufficient reason to tell a pair of friends that he may not call our community's attention to what he believes is a threat to his marriage (again, not as an ongoing topic, but hearing tell of it so that we're aware). > No, he implies it. Rubbish. Reading in context, clearly he's saying it's something vital -- as vital as it would be if it were _my_ marriage. Or yours. Moaning about gas prices and the stock market cannot compare. -- Cheers, Ceci n'est pas une pipe: | Rick Moen [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Basfa mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basfa.org/listinfo.cgi/basfa-basfa.org
