Jud, relax, I was talking about (as was obvious) here about your notion of
Plato's Ideas, *not* concerning your pseudo-psychological diagnoses of
Heidegger ("nutter") or my "muddled" "beliefs" (which are what, one
wonders?). It was the ludicrous idea (if it be an idea and not something you
read in a cartoon or Sun headline or...) that the Ideas were "floating"
about in the "air" etc, that I have called ignorant to some extreme. Tell us
please how you make this claim, philosophically, and not just restating it
in ever more colourful language (but basically repetition) concerning the
Ideas in Plato; do not spare us the detail, chapter and verse, with all the
reasoning you can muster to show that the Ideas indeed do float about in the
air as you say. Otherwise don't just insult someone else as if that were the
same thing; just common diversionary tactics and not worthy of your
abilities.
Come clean. Stop using dirty tactics. Otherwise just shut up.

mP
