- I appologize to the group, moderators, and Thyagi for being so stupid
- as to make any attempt at reasonable disputation with an apparent
- master of mystical powers; one who has said "You're likely to catch
- more heat from this thread than arises from my fingers and toes".

- If you really think that a discussion of 'evil' WITHOUT reference to
- magick is somehow relevant to alt.magick topics, I'm willing to hear
- why and how. I think you'd better make it good. You're likely to
- catch more heat from this thread than arises from my fingers and
- toes and I'll be happy to either join in or simply bypass the whole
- affair. Toodles...

- END OF CROSSPOSTING
-
- I am but a poor draftsman, and a doubtful painter; so I will retire
- from the fields where Lord Thyagi plays. But for my edification, if
- you will Lord Thyagi, tell me what value anyone can find in a model
- which is so constrained that it cannot be held accountable
- philosophically, historically, or phenomenally? In the life of mere
- mortals such as I these details remain quite important; as Bob
- Jacobsen said, "I could not easily tie the abstracted discussion to my
- common experience".
