From: "Rosser Jr, John Barkley" <rosserjb-AT-jmu.edu> Subject: M-I: reality as "anecdote" Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 14:52:09 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) Well, the latest silly drivel emanating from the buffaloes is this peculiar idea that reality is not to be analyzed because it is "merely" an "anecdote," whether it is the life experiences of Christi-Ann or the events in Zaire, not filtered through some "performance" the buffaloes are about perform as they continue to stampede across some stage or other in cyberspace (now there's ontological reality for you!). This reminds me of theoretical economists who dismiss as "mere anecdote" examples of real world behavior that does not correspond with the assumptions of their arid and irrelevant theoretical models. 2 questions for the buffaloes: 1) Is Shawgi Tell in your cult? For all his zombified Stalinism, he at least seems to have his feet in some kind of "anecdotal" reality more than you performers. 2) Have you folks been on the leninlist yet? Adolfo Olaechea over there loves to call people on this list "fascist dictators." He also likes to talk about breaking peoples' bones one by one. You might fit right in there, except that Adolfo would probably purge and really show you what "cyberfascism" is all about...
