Substance is often described as the spring of form, and when one recognizes an aspect of substance as a well-spring of form, then I think one can wisely rejoice with "Federal Farmer", and genuinely wish him authentic success in regaining the title deeds to his property.

Sir Remi: "I think the subject lines can be used to help the reader trace the path a thread is taking without having to read all the posts. Could this be an example of an advantage of using Eye-Zen English? Maybe we can explore the ways in which this particular phraseology may be superior to others, such as "I'm hopeful."

I agree that the subject line of a Truth Tree post can be used to help the reader. If, however, it is intended by the poster to divert attention to what I might describe as his or her polemical schtik, then I would not consider it as a candidate capable of fulfilling the intents or intentions I personally have for Eye-Zen English. That does not imply that I believe that English-speaking communicators cannot read truth from, or invest truth in, any subject line. When reading a shift from the subject line "Let's see if we can clear up Angus's theories" to, for example, "In pursuit of elegance AND (sic) excellence" one would have at least a little askance as to what the purpose of the poster making that (presumably deliberate?) shift might be, wouldn't one?

I have doubts as to whether, in the example I have here brought to your attention, whether the poster so identified, has goals of pursuing either elegance or excellence, and indeed have wonder if his intent du jour might be anything of much value to anything other than either his verbally creative web persona and his royally distractive TT posting self or his infelicitous supplications for therapy or coaching.

I have very little doubt, in contrast, as to the sincerity of your middle three paragraphs, Sir Remi.

Before concluding this post may I be so audacious as to observe that a saint who does not include in his/her treasured self-image, a very strong desire to curb the attempted intrusions of sociopaths upon the scarce human resource of her/his saintly (sacred?)capacities, will be unlikely to live long enough (and thus produce enough evidence of her/his existence) to justify beatification by such a Higher Power as may or may not be designing the intelligence of persons addicted to the disease of skepticism? I use the word "audacious" because it seems to me, Remi, that your policies, as I experience them through the intermediations your appointed moderators, have been, I sense, quite persistent in "unrecognition" of any validity there might be to this observation.

Lastly, on skepticism, and its relationship to the empathic authenticity that I wish to make the publically perceived heart of Eye-Zen English.

Skepticism is, in my opinion, an overvalued attitude particularly prevalent in persons lacking confidence in their scientific accomplishments. "Skepticity" is the Eye-Zen English word that I believe I proposed in a Truth Tree post of a year or more ago to make the distinction between the mood addiction that is skepticism, and the valuable capacity to be rationally skeptical of proposals by "newcomers to the culture" for describing under-recognized aspects of a particular human culture's sense of truth.
