But your are wrong, lack of adequate spelling and grammar is not at all, from where we stand, an indication of stupidity. In fact, complete inability to spell or write may be an indication of sheer intelligence. But here is what we have to say on that matter - that the incapacity to communicate and think is well evidenced in the web amongst artsy-fartsy types, on the wake, no, no, no, of Artaud or Isan or Ginsberg, but of mental incompetents like Sollers and, suddenly, all the mediocre and debile ones got a promotion - since they too can hide their incapacity to think and articulate, and their ignorance of words and concepts in a fashionable (for that is all it is), politically correct, free for all botching of any and every communication or text. So then, we get the quality we deserve. And it too reflects the depth of dedication and desire to communicate which marks this List. After all, if you do not intend to say what you mean, why say it at all? LC PS - What is intolerable, is prigs that cannot articulate, spell, think or utter. --- from list nietzsche-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
