If one above all the others so completely dominates as to be the top-dawg, reigning champ, then what's to do except fall on your knees and bow? > I think it was Dave Thomas (no another old Lila-squadder?) invented > their own language to avoid the SOMist traps - but of course that > limits the people you can converse with. J: DT's conversation alone is satisfying enough. He was a good thinker and discussion-ist. imho opinion his problem was dealing with one of the MoQ discussion's biggest problem ever - over-vilifying the value of subject and object. It's a blind reaction - equating the overthrow of S/O thinking with it's negation. Just because S and O are subordinate does not mean they are non-existent and yet people attack them as if they were worthless concepts. Where is that gonna get you? A private language is a contradiction in terms.

Now THAT would be religious.
