... Know Men By All These Presents:
J. P. DeMouy.
I want to thank you for your service. At times you made valuable contributions
here. I regret to inform you that those days are now over. Wittrs is an
exclusive forum. It's not for people who have the issues you have with certain
ideas, and who behave the way you do when around those ideas. Plenty of fora
exist for your input. I would wholeheartedly suggest joining Analytic. I know
first-hand they would value your opinions there to no end.
Wittgensteinians must be free to have their own space, where we can confess to
each other the things that experiencing Wittgenstein did to us, and to comment
upon those facets of the intellectual world that have yet to fully appreciate
these gifts. We in here are not fearful of the the haughty or the arrogant --
at least not as those things implicate propositions and academic social clubs.
We are interested only in people who make for a certain kind of good
discussion.
We do thank you for everything you have done in the past.
Should you consider sending us better offerings in the future, please note that
your status is only that of "moderated." That means: I'll pass along anything
of
value to the Wittrs living room. (What I suggest is sending the rejected mails
to Analytic).
For the last time, please allow me on behalf of everyone in here to thank you
as
sincerely as we can for the thoughtful things you did contribute in the past
Regards and thanks.

Our fearless leader wrote,
Wittgensteinians are discriminated against everywhere. And the reason
why is that they are not allowed to talk about things they see after
they have been transformed. They get level-shamed. They get told, in
essence, to put their walls back up.
As a person of color, I confess to having misgivings about white male
homosexuals, statistically one of the wealthiest, most privileged
demographics in the US, seeking to identify themselves with the Civil
Rights struggle, but I came to recognize the legitimacy of some of their
concerns. With that experience in mind, I won't make the same mistake
and am eager to jump on the bandwagon to stand up for oppressed
Wittgensteinians everywhere.
What color ribbons should we wear?
