Laura said:Thanks for your confidence in our good faith efforts, Arwenn, but I do think that Jonspock was sincerely nonplussed. Yes, I saw the critical correction and paramoralistic things in his remarks, but I also remembered the days when I would have felt/thought the same. And, as I've written a few posts back, we all ought to remember that. Plus, he was entirely correct in pointing out how the casual guest reader might see the matter. It took me years to untangle myself from the "egotism of the natural world view" and habits of "critical correction". Yeah, maybe I'm critically correcting even now a bit, but I do like to give the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah, the paramoralisms tripped me up. I can see what you mean about a guest reader when I scroll through this whole thread from the start. Thank you for your thoughts on this, Laura.
