Gary R., List: GR: In addition, while I was in Italy you apparently decided that the discussion of the metaphysical/theological discussions in the Trinity thread should cease (more, "enough" without that word being actually written).
To be fair, it was actually the subsequent thread <https://list.iupui.edu/sympa/arc/peirce-l/2019-06/msg00002.html> that I started about "Peirce on the Reality of God" that John deemed unworthy of further List discussion. Since Peirce's views were unmistakably clear in the passages that I quoted initially, I saw no reason to belabor them, and ironically the last several posts consisted primarily of John and Edwina agreeing with each other that there should be no further posts on that topic. On the other hand, it sounded like you wanted to say more in response to my last post in the thread <https://list.iupui.edu/sympa/arc/peirce-l/2019-05/msg00238.html> about "Trinity, Continuity, and the Cosmotheandric," but ran out of time before leaving on your trip. I, for one, remain interested in your further thoughts.
