On behalf of our organization and of the Aristotelian Society
(http://www.sas.ac.uk/aristotelian_society/) it is my painful duty to
point out that Ms. Nantongo was sent down from the Mutton College Logic
Camp in 2001 for forging an argument.
Painful as this might be for her to admit, it seems clear that Ms.
Nantongo's search for a replacement for reason is not entirely
disinterested.
