Hi Jon, List, I always appreciate the points and commentary on this list, but I question whether this list should be used for "terminological proposals" or attempts to create some sort of faux consensus on various points of Peircean scholarship. Through the years my observation has been there is rarely
consensus on most any matter raised on this list, and the
participants on the list are only a subset of those with insight
and informed views of Peirce. That is not to say that the list
should not be a source of discovery and lively debate, for which
I enjoy it very much and get personal value, but I think what
can actually be achieved via the list needs to be tempered with
a bit of realism. I think what especially concerns me is that
some apparent agreement between just a few list participants may
be taken as consensus of the community, which often, in my
humble view, it is decidedly not. Just saying . . . Mike On 12/8/2017 9:22 AM, Jon Alan Schmidt
