Platt to All: All: Seems to me Krimel engages in many sarcastic personal attacks against DMB in this post that are totally unnecessary, such as "Rather than engage the issues raised he slaps on the label SOM and "Presto" no need to read, no need to engage the issue, time to just sit back and feel self-righteous." Certainly DMB can take care of himself and needs no help from me in his defense. Nor do I hold myself out as a paragon of virtue. But, isn't this the sort of rhetoric Horse has asked us to avoid? Is there any excuse for slamming someone for a difference of opinion? Is civility dead?
Andre: When I read this, I spontaneously had to go to the toilet. And I sat there..., was it Platt?,was it the example?,was it the argument? was it the post? the sentiment? the message?, the compassion for Horse's predicament? the self-reflection? a reference to the social/intellectual moral conflict?, a reference to the code of art?, a plea to victorian convention? perhaps a conversion of Platt's faith? It did not make sense. I ended up just 'passing wind'.
