Usually I get over it. That's not to say that I should post recklessly, just that those-who-are-exceedingly-impressed-with-themselves-for -having-the-longest-book-list-ever, who post the kind of comment you received, have a profound misunderstanding of blogging.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532320775712506224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642011.post-60657422994290242732007-05-24T04:57:00.000-04:002007-05-24T04:57:00.000-04:00Agreed, I think you are pretty careful to not be m...Agreed, I think you are pretty careful to not be making a definitive claim.

(I find myself coming across things I've previously said on blogs or on paper and saying to myself, "What the hell was I thinking.")<BR/><BR/>Great comment too, Tea. And that's a great tennis analogy. I'm going to have to steal that one sometime.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864160448940312836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642011.post-75263038890621598132007-05-21T08:14:00.000-04:002007-05-21T08:14:00.000-04:00I suppose one would have been justified in critici...I suppose one would have been justified in criticizing you if you tended to make final pronouncements on important and complex matters without reading essential material on the topic first. My impression is, however, that you usually go out of your way to assure the reader that this is not what you're doing. <BR/><BR/>Telling you that you shouldn't even discuss topics you don't know *everything* about is similar to telling someone to not even consider touching a tennis racket before he has absolutely mastered the game of tennis in the first place. Philosophy is primarily about discussion, not about jotting down all-considering, presumably irrefutable statements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
