Good stuff to discuss Marsha,

"Nothing too grand" as a proper metaphysical ground in and of itself, but a
useful method (as Ron posits) for tearing down other's temples.

As a fellow iconoclastic anarchist, I applaud.  But once you set Relativism
up as a temple itself, its ripe for knocking down.  As I demonstrate in my
answer to Ham this morning.

So would you be happy if I offered you a distinction between methodical and
metaphysical relativism?

Let the play continue!
