Phil Enns:
MACAMP has not been part of any discussion yet. I would hope that Andreas
would reconsider if MACAMP were to actually contribute to a discussion but
till then I am glad Andreas has stepped in to moderate. There are more
appropriate venues for distributing news clippings.
The very OWNER of the PHil_Lit list Denis Dutton used to do this very thing
ALL the time. Denis RARELY contributed to the fray. That was fine. He
basically gave us what A&E now gives us. I say filter yourselves. I would
NEVER come across some of this stuff if CAMPy didn't post it.
Someone responded to the tax one by saying "why don't you tells us what's
wrong", but nobody [camp included] DID tell us what's wrong. Maybe some
people don't know how to read statistics. The TRUTH was there, albeit
hidden in "damn lies". Anyone with an elementary familiarity with
statistics could have said to themselves "yes, 98% of the taxes are paid by
50% of the people, BUT 50% of the people also HAPPEN to earn 87% of all
wages. This "truth" was hidden in the last paragraph.
If anything, these 'articles' demonstrate how evil rhetoric works. If
Andreas is going to censor Camp, then I would like to make a public plea to
MACAMP to send me personally the links that would have gone to the list.
That way, it won't be wasting anyone's bandwidth or, god forbid, offend
anyone.
Paul
