seaver:
the argument i advanced pertained to the posts in this thread. they refer to the symbiotic relation between your posts and those of a much lesser quality from ustwo.
it is a response to reading the posts the two of you put here.
i saw no need to make more general arguments--and if you do not understand the basis for the post i made, read through the thread yourself and you'll see it.
try for a minute to adopt the viewpoint of someone who had not read the thread for several days and returned to it, reading the posts one after the other.
sometimes a thread provides an unsettling context for the individual views presented in it.
i think that is the case in this one.
i tried not to reach around and impute particular motives to you in particular in this case, seaver. but i found the tack you and ustwo were developing, taken together, to be at the least problematic.
but read through the thread one post after another as i did ad you'll see what i was reacting to, i think.
