IAN: I'd call those who respond to nonpersonal
dispassionate analytical input with naught but
personal attacks and mud slinging "unstable,"
and a few others things too, but I think one
cannot instill a respect for free inquiry in
those dead-set on preventing it, even by holding
a mirror up to their shameful acts of aggression.
Consider the above response. It purports that
I should not be abused since it gets me upset
(framing my opposition to abuse as a sign of
mental instability), and yet the statement is
inherently intended to do exactly that which
it says should not be done, and is therefore
expossed as a willful effort to inflict what
the author predicts will cause personal hurt,
any sign of which on my part will then be used
to frame me as "unstable." All-in-all, it is
a violate aggression against free inquiry.
I can't figure why a list of a group that I
think stands for the highest ideals, for free
and anti-dogmatic inquiry, consistently expresses
the lowest varieties of anti-inquiry gangsterism.
But the reason that such reactions are displayed
by any subset of people is always the same: to
prevent with noise the signal of inquiry that
is perceived as a potential threat to existing
memetic codes... hence the "logic of abuse."
No doubt, as in the past, my objections here to
personal abuse will result in more of the same,
all the while the initial nonpersonal, logical
issues I raised are buried under a mountain of
noise, which is obviously exactly the intention.
I get the message: Go away and stop threatening
our memes with foreign-devil ideas and other
things that frighten us. It's pathetic!
