Ben sez: "Ed—I think it is pretty clear that there are some folks at the Forge who perceive themselves as strongly aligned "against" the theory of the place. It seems really odd to insult them by saying that they are part of our mainstream theory development."Well, I was just trying to understand what Vincent was getting at—trying to interpret his statement, not make one of my own.
Vincent—
""We" is the people in authority over the theory. Really, at the Forge "we" is Ron, just like here "we" is me. But I've won enough disagreements with him, and confirmed my understanding fully enough with him - and a bunch of others of us have too - that I count us as shared authorities. Maybe that's self-aggrandizement."
Heh. So "we" is Ron and the people who agree sufficiently with Ron. OK. Is John Kim "we"?
