Exactly!! That's the spirit!
And it shows, clearly, how different subject matters are treated on
this list.

I think it could be helpful for the group that has been complaining
about the subject matter of postings on this list to create a new one
that would be more to their liking. At least we (subscribers to
peirce-l) wouldn’t have to read all those complaints any more.

List,
I think it is absurd to start a separate mailing list.
Especially since its purpose would be to use Peirce's work as a
mirror to see what is going on in society today.
If people feel perturbed or unvalidated after reading the emails
distributed by this list, well, have you ever had a discussion about
the possibility that this has to do more with what is going on in
society today and that one's feelings about society are being
projected on the emails distributed by this list?
My very best, Margaretha H.
PS. I also find it unreasonable to expect people to reply to list
emails within 24-48 hrs. I cannot operate in that way. I am
juggling many other balls. There are many interesting emails on this
list, but I am simply not in the right place to reply to them
immediately. I hope to reply to them in the future once my schedule
is less hectic. The reason I replied to this email immediately
before other ones, well, it caught my attention and it kept on
bothering me. Its divisive rhetoric mirrors the divisive rhetoric in
society at large.
Let me end with a question. Popper is known for warning against the
manipulative use of language and logic. Did Peirce do something
similar? If my question shows a lack of understanding of Peirce's
work, I apologize. I am still in the learning stages.

List,
On Thursday, I sent the note below to Peirce-L. I received some
strong positive comments and suggestions offline, but complete
silence from the people who send most of the notes to Peirce-L.
For example: "As for the natural extensions of Peirce's thought,
even when they agree closely with his principles, they are rejected
[on Peirce-L] as post-Peircean"
I interpret those responses as evidence that we need n email list
that is dedicated to the kinds of topics that dominated the Peirce
Centennial Congress in 2014. That was a very exciting conference on
research that builds on Peirce's work and relates it to developments
in the century after Peirce. As Peirce frequently emphasized, the
meaning of any sign is its implications for action in the future.
We live in Peirce's future, and our actions today depend critically
on the developments in the century after Peirce.
I don't believe that we should reject Peirce-l, but we should have
another email list that relates Peirce's ideas to the issues of
today. I would encourage subscribers to Peirce-L to participate in
both lists. I'll send another note tomorrow..
John
