Re: email gambit (was fuck the math . . .)



I haven't had so much fun since a bunch of latter-day Anarcho-Pagans
called me provocateur and police agent. O.K., O.K. I can see I'm not
welcome here. Unless I get positive feedback from other subscribers, Pen-l
won't have me to kick it around anymore. *That's* my gambit. I'm not in it
for the gratuitous abuse.

 Typical email gambit, I see.  Create a strawman position (Max, I, and
 others aren't merely answering the "arithmetic" question about
 progressivity, but "seem to be arguing" for some claim of distributive
 justice), attribute it to others, and whack away.  But you've added a
 novel twist, at least.  That strawman you've created is so unworthy, you
 say, you refuse to talk about it!

 I can't think of anything further I could possibly want to say on the
 topic of progressivity, Tom, including in response to whatever it is you
 can dream up to say about my last two messages.  Bye.

I'll provide some positive feedback...
