Internal cause and Premise

[Ron Edwards]

Hello,

Seconded on the closing, although I don't wanna stop anyone from getting in a last post.

Marco, I've tried to say it myself a buncha times about the "emotional involvement" thing and am often stymied. That's my last word, weenie as it is ...

Best,
Ron

I think that step-on-up is distinct from emotional empathy or resonance that one gets from engaging with literature and theme.

I know it is; thats my point.  Different does not mean non-existant.  Please try reading what I write.

Ron, as far as I can tell, Marco's purpose here is to play semantic games with the jargon.  I am only trying to disentangle them, and seeing as explaining things to Marco only gives him more argumentation to manipulate, the short and to-the-point response is best.

Well, that's a personal attack and I don't appreciate it. You could've chosen to say that to Ron in a PM or not say it at all. Considering that you were already warned explicitly once in this thread, I would expect there'll be some stronger action taken this time. As yours is essentially the last word on the topic, I'm requesting that this thread be officially closed.

Closed for sure.

[sigh] Everyone, let the moderator moderate, don't sic him on one another, please.

Best,
Ron
