Mike, List: I can definitely understand how some would find these discussions "tiresome," but almost simultaneously with your negative response, I received a private reply to the very same message from a "lurker" stating, "This is great, and offlist - just wanted you to know that I enjoyed this post and enjoy your posts in general." As Peirce said, "Different people have such wonderfully different ways of thinking ..." (CP 6.462).
I do not understand why my appeals to the List community's good judgment would bother you so much. They are really no different from when Edwina has said (and I have agreed) that everyone must read Peirce for themselves and come to their own conclusions. In any case, with all due respect, please do not try to dictate how I participate in the List. Finally, as I have said before, I sincerely appreciate Edwina for repeatedly forcing me to sharpen my thinking and argumentation, and I hope that her experience has been similar. I am always happy to give her the last word when I have nothing further to add.
