"K. Trogge" (i.e. C. Bruce) insulted me TWICE:
-- He said that I don't know the FIRST thing about Kant.
I will give you 24 hours (starting NOW) to either quote the post where
I said that (at which point I will fulsomely apologize) or retract
that comment.
-- he actually insulted me by suggesting that I check with what
Kant Wrote IN GERMAN (online, he adds --
as if Kant was in a match-maker website or something).
Just a few days a friend expressed to me serious doubts sometimes
about the value of the Internet. I responded, *Perhaps, but the
Akadamieausgabe of Kant's work is available online." He took my point
immediately.
If you find it an insulting when someone takes the time to make a
worthwhile suggestion to you (it WAS, after all, in response to a
query of yours about Kant terminology in German) by informing you of a
valuable resource ... well, really, JL ....
(The rest of you may wish to note that those ellipses are not a case
of me 'biting my tongue' - I REALLY am in what is for me one of the
rarest of states: at a loss for words!)
