Oh really 'G'? So your purpose in life on TT is to get me to back off Billt, like he can't take care of himself or God will not undertake for him if he in fact does feel threatened by me - and your way of accomplishing this is by insult and putdown like the end justifies the means or something. And as if this is not bad enough, now you say that your manipulations carry some clout with Slade, what about DavidM?  Corrupt moderation is worse than no moderation at all.    Maybe I ought to be saying farewell along with Jeff - so you can have the satisfaction of mission accomplished - so that your own intellect along with your remarkable intellectual others will have no hindrance.  I'm wondering if you are aware of how all of this sounds to those of us who are less exalted.  I'm also wondering how ppl who think they are so smart have not yet learned how to spell.  Having to wade through this is more than offensive, it's enough to give one a migraine.  All along I had thought you had to be joking.  Now (horrors!!) I'm beginning to understand that you are serious.   The judge has spoken - "hold jt's feet to the flame" huh!!  The apple sure doesn't fall far from the tree does it. You are just like your teacher both intellectually and emotionally.  jt     On Wed, 19 Jan 2005 17:15:37 -0700 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ftr, i told Slade/TT (publically) my purpose is 'to back partic jt offa ppl like BillT'--and apparently that explanation carried some clout; also, *ed lvl* mattrs not in that (orig) cntxt--it iss not ok for rdrs to havta read incessant anti-intellectual drivl (uncntstd), couchd in some sorta mystical super-spiritual mythological mindset/s..it is not productv conversation among scholars, critics, or peasants..obviously it's benn v offensv to some v remarkable ppl, e.g., BillT   also, i usually let alot of postd 'myth' (IMO) go uncontstd for the sake of zeroing in on crucial issues;  classifyg cult 'theology' of late is one sorta side benefit of holdg jt's feet to the flame; evn in this cntxt ive lft untouchd that whch is respectably postd to any/all postrs, e.g., almost all of DaveHs and KDs discussions..KD, street prchr or not,  vs. DaveH, has made v remarkable progress in portrayg/givg readrs a chance to grapple with, a facet of cult cloakd in mystery..again, KDs efforts are v helpful mainly bec he's carrying his intellectual weight to the forum daily..intrestgly, it's presntd a collateral opp to parallel DaveHs cultic mystique with (e.g.) jts..let the rdrs beware is sum of moderation, i think (to keep briefly to the subj:)  regards, G     On Wed, 19 Jan 2005 15:37:37 -0500 "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: || Those who beat up intellectually upon *others less educated* than them are in my opinion, intellectual bullies.
