Cob: Re: "objectivity" vs. "philosophy" vs. (The Book)

[Ocean]

Hello Cobbies!

Regarding my wholesale lack of "objectivity"...I did consider editing 
the outrage out of my last posting, and just discussing the 
philosophical issues, but I was sure this would just invite more 
slamming and reaction from Mr. Henman.

So instead I chose to respond in the same childlike manner as his 
original posting.  Predictably, all he did was repeat over and over "I 
was just looking for information" and deny his criticism of an unread 
work and reactionary stance against philosophy.  This is the 
manipulative behavior of a passive-aggressive personality, and I was not 
surprised, in fact somewhat pleased to see him defend his being such an 
a**hole...

Enough shirt sleeve psychology!  I am really interested in your thoughts 
about the philosophical issues I discussed, and want to encourage anyone 
else who feels likewise to also address the issue at hand:  is 
philosophy important to this list?  Should this also be a forum for 
thould those who entertain a deeper motivation for cob?   Are we indeed 
a "movement" with charismatic leaders who guide throngs of eager 
followers down the road to Housing Nirvana (ooo, sounds kinda cultish, 
doesn't it)?  Can't we have some fun with this?
