Hello everyone again
I just want to make a quick point. When people send in
comments about
labelling or any other spurious practice. If you are to use
pieces of my
writing, I wonder if I could ask that you contextualise it
for me. I am
aware Phil (and others who have responded) that you probably
did
recognise that i was not putting forward an opinion or
describing the way I
think about things. But rather, that I was describing how
things are
considered by the people who developed those definitions.
However,
when my words are situated directly below comments about
such
practices, it *can* look like you are using my comment as an
*example*
of labelling or other such practice. I do not feel that I
have been taken out
of context but I feel that the possibility exists for that
to happen now.
And Keith responded-
I comments are in direction of the
concept of this type of labeling and not on
the author. I don't shoot messengers.
To which Phil says:
Yup. I understand, Laurence, that you are describing how
things are, rather than how they should be.
Me too.
I'll try to be careful about context.
Best-
