I am not a member of real_philosophy. Why am I on this list entitled "Objective Rankings of real_philosophy Members"?

Re: Bad Example jeffrock March 27 2005, 03:24:15 UTC

You didn't raise this objection to cabrutus when he put you on his list. :p

Re: Bad Example philosophyjeff March 27 2005, 03:42:41 UTC

I don't think that detracts from the force of the point here.

Well... technically... lilwilly March 27 2005, 10:41:02 UTC

Yeah, but cabrutus's list is inclusive of all philosophers on LJ. Not merely those in real_philosophy.

Because you're a clear-head, clearly.

Only a clear-head would have the reaction you just did.

philosophyjeff March 27 2005, 04:46:27 UTC

That doesn't address my point. My point is that since the notion of membership in real_philosophy is deployed affirmatively in the title, that is reasonable evidence to conclude that the list is to consist of such members. I am not such a member. So it seems at least conversationally inappropriate.

mendaciloquent March 27 2005, 04:51:55 UTC

Clearly.

philosophyjeff(CH) has a point. Maybe I should change the name to say rankings of lj-philosophy peeps instead of limiting it to one community.

It's like La Cosa Nostra. Once you're in, you're in for life.

Re: Bad Example pooperman April 9 2005, 21:27:26 UTC

Actually, you are a perfect example. We chased you away, no?

Re: Bad Example nanikore April 10 2005, 23:27:55 UTC

no way

I'm claiming all the credit on that one
