Hi Laura, I agree with you about Searle as i've enjoyed his perspective on a number of issues (although i admire him only in the manliest of ways, and not with the thinly veiled lust you shamelessly displayed with 'i've taken a fancy to you, Mr. Sennett' (g)).

But one thing you did not touch on was his considerate treatment of those with alternate viewpoints. If we forget to maintain that respect for others (even when it's not reciprocated) our posts are reduced to 'preaching to the choir' instead of exchanges from which we can broaden perspectives (including our own).

I suggest you question the value of making comments such as 'so-and-so is a silly little...'

(And i take the time to make this suggestion only because I suspect we share similar beliefs on a number of issues, and i'd like to see those views effectively spread, and not marginalized by our own inability to communicate them in a respectful manner.)

enough preaching from me...

John
