Misstatements of fact: "For some reason, I was added to the list and starting receiving its emails." -----
Professor Gunning himself subscribed to the list at Topica. He was sent an invitation to which he replied affirmatively. Topic software then automatically sent a confirmation message to which he again replied affirmatively for a second time. Only at that point did Topica begin to transmit socialcredit messages to him. "Bill claimed to be an economist." ----- I never claimed to be an economist. You will not find that claim in any message that I have ever posted to the list socialcredit. Nor have I ever privately communicated that claim to Professor Gunning. Having said that, it should be noted that the "austrians" have a traditional proclivity for withholding the term from anyone but themselves and their close relatives. This follows Mises who assigned the term only to the "austrians" and their predecessors. Which seems incongruous since Professor Mises' own advanced academic credentials were in law, not economics. "I don't know why he posted the message here." ----- I am a list subscriber. I responded to a message posted to this list that directly related to social credit that contained several gross misstatements of fact. "So, hopefully, we will be spared future cross- postings." ----- So much for an open mind. And -- So much for considering "austrian" economics to be anything other than cultic pseudo-science. It is very much faith based, as is evident from Gunning's commentary in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] archives. I will compile them and post a link to them later. For an example of the methodology, take note of his response to my message. It does not address even a single substantive point I made in my message. Merely an "apology" for list members having to endure my "cross posting" followed by further misstatements, this time about myself personally. I do sincerely thank Professor Gunning for an interesting and informative discussion. I will be cross posting this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Ryan -----original message----- Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 11:12:50 +0800 From: Pat Gunning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Austrian School of Economics] a creature called rabbit To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear list: The posting by Bill Ryan relates to a debate we have been having on a different list -- the "Social Credit" list, which he moderates. For some reason, I was added to the list and starting receiving its emails. Since I had not heard of this "Social Credit" idea and since I have a strong interest in credit, I asked a few questions. Bill claimed to be an economist. One email led to another and another and eventually he and I were engaged in a debate. The final result was a complete impasse, as evidenced by the message relating to the Fed's ability to control the amount of bank money creation. He denied this; I affirmed it. Bill posted his message to his list and to this one. I don't know why he posted the message here. However, I have since unsubscribed to his list. So, hopefully, we will be spared future cross-postings. Sorry :-[ ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
