Okay John, here's my composed response: 1) I know you aren't into it, but of course the Forge has a "the theory." There's a real body of genuine conclusions that we've drawn, despite the various disagreements, misunderstandings and ignorances among the Forge's users. Here's the potential shitstorm: the recurring disagreements in the Forge forums reveal a problem with the open forum medium, not genuine competing theories. 2) When I declare that my ongoing work is within the Forge's theory, it's out of pride and ownership, not out of self-deprecation. I read you thusly: "Vincent, you don't give yourself enough credit, you should declare independence from the body of theory that you've contributed so much to and worked so hard to create and fully co-own, and from which you draw such ongoing inspiration." I'm like, "I should huh?" |
