You Justify Calling One Another Names...in The Name Of Science?

Okay, Harv
This could seem sarcastic or it could be useful..I'm not sure how you mean it.

To call someone evil is to call them a name.

And you just said,"there is justification for someone to label someone evil as long as others understand their meaning."

You say that was your point in opening the thread...to make that statement.

Since there are no sciences with a name which I know to describe this, your idea could be the herald of a new science...the science of name-calling.
Do you have axioms, like Spinoza's axioms, for example, for this rather fuzzy new horizon toward which you beckon us?

Cautious Regards,
Mike PEARSON


Okay, so maybe you're not teasing.
It might be better if you had been.
