Hi SW,
I said "shoot" to myself after I sent the post, realizing I broke a rule. I
didn't intend to break the rule. I'm glad that you didn't take the time to
erase it after the fact; this way I can see whether Stuart might feel fit to
take me up on any of my modest challenges.
Why is that rule a rule again? Is it because the excess stuff left below the
comments are totally irrelevant or is it a storage capacity issue?
Let me know, just so I know if it is the one or the other or some other reason
if you would be so kind.
I'll understand if it is a capacity issue. If not, then it seems one is better
off having access to what wasn't exactly responded to. That way a third party
might chime in about a relevant issue that didn't get its due given the limited
responses.
Also, I believe everything I said in the post about Stuart's claims to be
perfectly accurate.
I left it a possibility that Stuart might find even just one thing to cherry
pick from my relatively short post. That would be better than, say, his
deciding to defend himself through a third party (yourself) via explaining why
he need not defend himself.
An unfortunate result would be my not getting Stuart right.
I think it is impossible that I'm getting Stuart wrong.
More unfortunate would be Stuart's lack of ability to set me straight if I were
getting him wrong.
Lastly, I really don't think Stuart's criticisms of Searle are informed by
readings of his target article in BBS or his APA address.
He can set me straight by referring to either of these papers as offering
motivations for his criticisms which to me seem entirely unmotivated by these
articles.
Cheers,
Budd
