IMO the best postings of Erik Naggum (whom I heard of only through loper-os.org) were those where he rails against Scheme and its community. |

This might be my all-time favorite. |

Someone named William Clinger was complaining that CL having two namespace "creates a bias against higher-order thinking." |

Naggum: No, it does not. This is completely bogus reasoning. |

gregorynyssa: eh, there's a bit of irony in naggum's discussion of what "vertical" folks tend to do. he's doing it. |

"people before me decided that two shall be the holy number of symbol spaces, and now that's cosmic fact" |

I don't find any particular insight in this post. |

obviously having the two spaces does not "bias against higher-order thinking" whatever that means |

honestly this is the sort of ulcerative discourse that probably killed the guy |

I'm more aligned with trinque; in this false dichotomy of horizontals and verticals, I'd rather have a tower standing on a large plain than just a plain. |

To stretch the analogy thinner, it's easier to traverse a plain than a mountain range. |

I've great respect for naggum. I just find it unfortunate that he didn't "negrate and move on". |

more a point about the social tech of usenet than him, in fact. |

recall the prototype we had in #t. a n00b would appear, be temporarily voiced, and then either given a +1 from someone, or fell back into silence. |

All I did after being silenced was leave until I was aware of this channel. |

an improvement upon this model would be to make it p2p, and for one to hear messages from his own <=l2 (beyond if he likes) |

verisimilitude: seems the prototype worked fine, and you self-selected into a place that suited you |

I don't disagree. |
