Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ----__JNP_000_3b78.093d.1707 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello Louise, Several weeks have gone by with no reply to my previous e-mail, in which I posed a pair of sharply pertinent questions about your behaviour. I take it that what this means is that not only will you not be responding on the basis of The Thing Itself (i.e. the objective, external component of our dispute), you will also not be responding to the meta-level question of why you are not responding. And, I assume, if I were next to present a meta-meta-level question to you, by demanding an explanation of why you will not responding to my demand for an explanation of why you will not be responding, you will not be responding to that either. And so on, ad infinitum. In other words, you are stifling all possible discourse with me, on every conceivable level, about the important moral and intellectual issues I have raised. Is this correct? This appears obvious, but to remove all possible ambiguity, let me present it to you this way: if this is *not* correct, please let me know. Please let me know how far up the ladder of meta-questions I must go before you are willing to give a response, and how soon I might expect to receive such a response. And please let me know these things within a reasonably short time frame, say within a couple of weeks of this e-mail. Otherwise I think I may reasonably assume that as far as communication with me is concerned, you have shut yourself up as tight as an oyster. Thank you, Andrew --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Hammoude <hammoude@juno.com> To: ltownsend3@juno.com Date: Sun, 9 May 2004 09:32:55 -0700 Subject: Re: letter received You will not be responding? Well, I didn't see that coming. This appears to be a total reneging on your thrice-repeated assurances to me that you *would* be responding. This now presents us with a couple of glaringly obtrusive questions. First, *why* will you not be responding? Given your announced intention of not responding, the next minimum level of honorability you can meet, or not, is to provide a clear and forthright statement as to exactly *why* you will not be responding. Second, at what point during the past nine months, during which time I have been patiently waiting for you to honor your word, did you come to this decision?
