The quotations are a treat. I'd call them a potent glue, if I were a glue-sniffer.

What are profile comments supposed to cover, anyway?

I'm celebrating having "come back" to this forum. By far the most civilized one of the 5 or so I've been on. Highest concentration of well-informed and well-spoken people.

I'm inviting comments on when it is right to note errors and fallacies, in a discussion you are interested in, and when and why to overlook them.

I imagine that there was something cut off. Something about "Ie, which seems to suggest that actually these properties are apparently not objective but dependent on the relative position / speed of the observer"..

I wonder if I get freedom of speech on my own profile? Probably not.

Not that I haven't encountered it before, but I really had hoped O.O. was run by people, some of whom loved reason.

I had been looking for an exemplar for Kipling's first line: If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.

And then, a perfect one fell right in my lap!

One can not, one must not, compromise on reason.
