To john carl I still remember the part you mention about the position i took in the James/Royce discussion.It is true that i defended the case that James and Royce were in fact enemy's but irl de facto friends. My point of view was partially derived from the stanford entry about Royce
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/royce/ and after some investigation on this page, the Gifford lectures given by Royce as "the world and the individual", and subsequently thereafter William James "the variaties of religious experience" - as the lead on the stanford page suggested i took the effort to compare the two views, and i had to agree with the remarks on the stanford page under the header "life", if you want/like to find them. I did not invent my point.I honestly found that the narrator was very correct in his analysis. Pff,......peak oil? I had to look it up on wiki. Apparently it is not a form of oil in the physikal way, but a model, a theory about marketing oilproduction. see wiki "peak oil". What i do remeber is that i'm opposed to fracking and in situ leaching on shaleoil bearing layers under the bedrock.I always did.Its a bad tech and i'v seen examples here in Holland;nope,bad way , the fracking way. But i think it is not indecent to oppose to fracking.Probably we were talking about that in the past , given your coining this peak oil lead. It is wrong to think that i blaim only you about Ant's departure.I don't. It is as good my fault and i'm also guilty in that regard. I have no intention to go further into that. --wit and humour! very important,nobody likes to get fucked in a rational way.have to agree on that one.I'll work on it. adrie 2016-01-27 20:29 GMT+01:00 John Carl <[email protected]>: > On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 12:46 PM, Adrie Kintziger <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > i'm still extremely pissed that an environment was created here to > > make mr Mc Watt to leave....shame really what a disgrace that was. > > > > > I'm guessing, Adrie, that you think I am largely to blame for that one - > making Ant feel stupid.
