[MD] Taking words Seriously

[X Acto]

Matt

p.s.
To anyone who is curious about what I think about Steve and Dave's 
recent back-and-forth since I disappeared in the conversation, I tend 
to agree with Steve's approach.  I get more and more confused 
about what Dave thinks the further it goes on, which I know Dave 
thinks is disingenuous of me, but I just can't wrap my head around 
some of the claims he thinks I'm making.  Dave moves just too fast 
for me through what he thinks I think, that there's no time, nor real 
purpose for someone who has their mind made up, to try and go 
back over them all.  Dave's right that it is my reading of Rorty that 
likely makes me so disagreeable to him, but I've apparently climbed 
into a box that Dave sees no reason for ever letting me out of in his 
own mind.                         

Ron:
Although that may be the case, it seems Daves fight is over different reasons.
I think Steve and yourself have a particularly fine line of discussion going concerning
Philosophy. However I feel Steve and Dave are talking past eachother and I think,
to my reading, Steve knows what Dave is on about but is teasing him out semantically.
just to fuk with him.
 
The problem that you and Dave share is well beyond anything I could even suggest.
Matt, you often take a rather complex read to uncover the subleties of your meaning
whereas Dave is more direct. If anything I could add, this would be the primary distiction
in your styles of discussion.
 
thnx
