Marsha: I didn't use the word IS, that is your misrepresenting my statement. I "suggested" that reification was either a part of the conceptualization process, or that there was a interdependency between conceptualization and reification. > dmb: > You can't say reification is inescapable AND also say it is a tendency that > may occur. Marsha: It was Wallace that used the word 'tendency,' but to quote him properly he stated 'natural tendency.' Look up the word 'natural.' And I did not use the word 'inescapable.' I did use the word 'escape' when I was describing to John a personal experience. > dmb: > Those are contradictory claims.

Marsha: This is one wild sentence that doesn't make sense to me. --- I can assure you that I never stated that 'one should kill the intellect because it is a prison.' I defy you to find where I made such a statement. Again, you have combined two statements out-ofo-context to misrepresent what I've said. > dmb: > These are wildly opposed claims and you want to say them both at the same > time.

I find you intellectual integrity very low-grade. ___ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
