In free market it is every thing . It is my contention that there is no such thing as a reputation . What you ' re talking about are the configuration of people ' s brains . Guy X has his reputation and every body has right to share it . No , Guy X does not have his reputation . Other people have brains configured in certain ways . That ' s what you ' re talking about . And if you believe that people have a property right to their reputation , then what you ' re really saying is that they have a property right in how other people ' s brains are configured . I don ' t claim that identity has a property qualities to it but in some sense it belongs . What sense is that ? <| sep |> I really think everyone should be emailing her with links to various porn , asking her to say wether it ' s conventional or not . The more pedantic , the better .
