`  :::Ludvikus here: Are you, Lucaas, totally incapable of saying something nice about me at that ``Kangeroo court``? *You do not care for me? Yes or no? *You do not think they can get that so-called ``Community ban on me?`` Yes or no``? *You want to be alone here, and you find me in the way? Yes or no``? *Do you think that I'm disruptive to the Community, whatever that means? ``Yes or no? *Do you believe there is an Editor's War? Yes or no? *Do you want Peace? Yes or No? *Do you want to help FT2? Yes or no? *I'm still assuming Good Faith. **Now here's some PHILOSOPHY (it seems there's no alternative  but to shout it:    ``The history of philosophy is punctuated    by revolts against the practices of previous    philosophers and by attempts to transform     philosophy into a science—a discipline in     which universally recognized decision-    procedures are available for testing phil-    osophical theses.  In Descartes, in Kant, in    Hegel, in Husserl, in Wittgenstein’s Trac-    tatus, and again in Wittgenstein’s Phil-    osophical Investigations, one finds the same    disgust at the spectacle of philosophers     quarreling endlessly over the same issues.      The proposed remedy for this situation     typically consists in adopting a new     method: for example, the method of  “clear    and distinct ideas” outlined in Descartes’    Regulae, Kant’s “transcendental method,”    Husserl’s “bracketing,” the early Wittgen-    stein’s attempt to exhibit the meaningless-    ness of traditional philosophical theses by     due attention to logical form, and the later    Wittgenstein’s attempt to exhibit the point-    lessness of these theses by diagnosing the     causes of their having being propounded.      In all of these revolts, the aim of the revo-    lutionary is to replace opinion with knowl-    edge, and to propose as the proper mean-    ing of “philosophy” the accomplishment     of some finite task by applying a certain set    of mythological directions.
