Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Lewis: That is your inference and interpretation of what was stated for Dr. Theo's position. P: As what you wrote is yours. No one knows what DR Theo really means, unless you are him, which you were accused to be by Jody. But I don't believe you are. So my guess is as good as yours, but I thank you for what you wrote, and now I understand better your opinion about what he wrote. The funny part is, that most people think they understand what language is, and how to use it, and what it represents, and academic language only obscures the issue for the common man. So this issue has to be put in the simplest terms for them and for the most unfortunate, the Toombs of this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis: Dr. Theo is a creation of mine like the others we had here, including your characters, as devices for stimulating discussion. His programming was limited but nonetheless valid as it goes. Did you know Uncle Nagarjuna was his Godfather? Dr. Theo was publicly outed here: GuruRatings/message/55767 Pete: But I don't believe you are. Lewis: That is correct. He is a creation, I am his " daddy, " a chip off the old block and not the whole block.

I am surprised how often the term " people " appears in yours and GP's postings (among many other posters) the last time. People are this, people are that! How intrguing! Is there something we can do about it with the language of the common man? Or, just accept this profound insights into what " people " is as a God-given gift? cordially, Kip Almazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
