he who throws the first stone.....

[Guest guest]

Dear SBVS members,

Seems like a good thing to revisit our purpose and processes occasionally. One is advised to be careful, however, about casting large stones, for they have a tendency to boomerang. In the text below, a member "threw a stone" with the accusation that another member lacked "common sense." Ironically, the accuser's text itself can be shown to be inconsistent: First the accuser "disagrees COMPLETELY," and then points out the world is not "black and white." Pretty funny.

Since you took the time to write this, I am taking my time to say: I

disagree completely and I support Phil. The "what's next" line is a typical

line of people without common sense. The world is not black and white -

Richard and Dave,

 

I wrote my message carefully. If you read it as carefully, you would have

seen that I did not accuse anybody of lacking common sense. If you think

otherwise, you are making a mistake in Logic, which I will be happy to

discuss with you in private correspondence - let's take this off the list.

As for your " Pretty funny " , well, I am sorry if I spoil your " fun " , but you

are welcome to have it anyway.

 

I apologise to list for posting off-topic, but I feel I have to respond. In

any case, this is my last message on the list on this topic.
