[Marsha] And your reply is a contextual response. [Arlo] Of course it is. You asked a question. I gave an answer. That was my point, its not the words, but how they are used.
[Marsha] What words are not situated in context; only those sitting in a dictionary. [Arlo] If you read my email, 'context' was presented as the use of the text, not as the co-presence of other words. That's a rather inane move. Look at this way, asking "is a quote philosophical?" is as absurd as asking "is red paint artistic?" Its not about the 'quote' or the 'paint', but whether they are artfully or artlessly deployed. The text you offered is neither philosophic or non-philosophic, its the context- how it is used- that determines this. [Marsha] Since you do participate in this forum, but rarely, what game are you playing now? [Arlo] I gave an honest answer to your question. [Marsha] I asked the question to hear the different replies that might be offered? [Arlo] And I gave you mine. [Marsha] Look, I already received one asshole reply. What to make it two? [Arlo] Exactly what part of my reply would you characterize as an "asshole reply"? Do you disagree with what I said? If so, how?
