"Moralistic" is pejorative, "moral" isn't. Objectivity is impossible under those conditions. Obviously my own views are always moral and my opponents' moralistic! Anyway I think there is a double standard on PEN-L. A critique of the lifestyle of private equity managers is "moral", but a critique of the "working class" lifestyle will be *automatically* denounced as "moralistic". -raghu. -- Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE! _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
