Perhaps you would be better served to continue the same line via p.m. rather than here.
Point seems moot though, I am guessing the thread will be locked in short order. |
I honestly felt there was a need in this case, Mar. You can click on my name and browse my posts, you'll see this is not how I roll, in fact, you'll find other threads where stevedavidson and I have happily shared the bandwidth. However, in this case I feel what he did was totally reprehensible, just like Judo practicioners don't go around rassling people to the ground at random, writers shouldn't go around using the skills and experience they have to pick on people.
However, it's certainly not something I'm going to continue by P.M, I'm not going to post on the subject of religion or stevedavidson in this thread again, for that matter. I agree with DavidWirth that a lock is where things are headed and I won't be the cause of it, if I can help it.
I understand stevedavidson's position and we disagree, I will take his views under advisement.
John Satclaire, I believe a neater term for the 'natural law' you refer to would be Meme, a word coined by author David Brin in his nonfiction short piece "The Meme of Otherness" from the book Otherness. He really parallels your ideas.
