[MD] The Intellectual Gauntlet

[Ron Kulp]

Ian:
Whoa ... Marsha, Margaret ... Ron et al

Ian is very "impressed" with Nagarjuna, Ian does indeed have
"middle-way" tattoo'ed on his buttocks, and "excluded-middle"
imprinted any-which-way you slice me .....

I used that phrase - quoting Ron's words - AGAINST those who see all
this rational objective rigour as the goal of our critical analysis -
was using it to contrast DMB's claims for rigour againts my (sic)
"drivel" in this case. It's the meme I have been railing against since
long before I even read ZMM, or anything remotely philosophical.

Ron:
Ian, Marsha,
I think Margaret was making a funny. Grasping for concrete meaning
and objective rigor, I think (because I have a penchant for bathroom
humor)
she was alluding to us males "wrestling with our manhood"
you know "roughing up the suspect" "flaying the fox" "punching the
clown" 

Lighten up people!
