Glad to hear that Jeff is still around. Hat's off to him also.

Er...

Dayaamm, Linz!

You were absolutely right. I never should have called that guy "little." I was making a possible derogatory observation without first-hand knowledge.

HUH??!!

Did I advocate something called "emotion-sanitising"?

> the choice to live is pre-moral

You, Joe Rowlands, Robert Campbell, David Kelley (?)..and now Bill Dwyer...are -all- wrong (and rationalistic in your reasoning) on this. The choice to live..fully, passionately, determinedly is the -first- moral choice (as I explained in my original post).

"Lowest rung of hell" remark is a separate (and distracting) issue.

> I’m off to savour some Bidinotto and Shiraz.

I thought he was straight. :-)

Amen.

Amen with a Hallelujah Chorus.

Bidinotto IS straight. And thus sometimes feels lonely here.

But I do share with Linz an appreciation of Shiraz. I particularly savor Rosemount...the most appetizing thing from Down Under since Elle McPherson. (And please don't force me to choose.)

Robert,

Don't be lonely.  Lots of heteros around here.  As to Elle MacPherson or wine, I have no doubt which I'd choose. (And not just because I prefer beer!)

and “lousy fucking useless bastard” shouldn’t be the result of a legitimate debating point (in this case the desirability of deploying religious conservatives to write in an Objectivist magazine).
Just a point to be clear; I was responding to Glenn's unpleasant attack on Michael quoted below, not his argument about religious writers in TNI:
Oh, I forgot your often! repeated resume...
your a brown noser...
you were a drunk...
and a drug addict...
and your mother-in-laws bitch.

Laugh Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud Out Loud Out Lo

As far as the following goes:

SOLOists should remember that when they post, the whole world is watching, and not only their reputation but SOLO’s is affected, even though it should be clear that SOLO is not SOLOHQ posters. No, I’m not advocating Coates-style emotion-sanitising, Galt forbid, just asking for a little forethought on the part of those inclined to charge in without it.

I despise you people and your either/or fallacies.  There is nothing in reality that rules out the having of both the wine and Elle.  I refuse to give up one or the other, especially when they would go so perfectly together.

Since this is a serious intellectual forum:

As long as we're down under, I'll see you guys an Elle MacPherson and trump you by raising you with a Nicole Kidman or a Naomi Watts.

Ethan,

(sigh)

Maybe we should restrict our vocabulary to Solo language that is more PC, you know, terms like slime and pond scum...
