There is the thing where you constantly claim that students are sucking you off.
No wonder you are always atatcking descriptivism.

How is that critical? Try not to be such a homophobe, Kotsko.
Yes, that.
Mr. D's suit doesn't seem to have any legal merit, but since he thinks he knows who B is, I'm hoping that he does sue--the wrong person. That would be comedy gold.
(I think the guy who contacted his advisor was way out of line.)
Apparently you're "immensely influential", according to the ever-accurate wikipedia. The size of your reputation is quite impressive.
OMG!!! Saul Kripke is my co-blogger!!!!
Check out how totally ruling this guy is:
This is not High School. It is more like business. Try thinking of it in that context.Action-reaction. Crime-punishment.
As I said, a couple lines were crossed. We are now in the real world.
That laconic resolve. That Herbert Kornfeld-esque steely gaze. I am scared.
"Fine, game on."
Nerdy engineers living up to their stereotypes! Oh, if only he were Persian, I'd buy him a black BMW.
I know Saul Kripke. Saul Kripke was a friend of mine, and you, sir, are no Saul Kripke.
Gotta love the prominently-displayed comment policy from Paul's blog:
Comment Policy: I will reply to all substantive comments. I may correct spelling, but will indicate that your comment was edited.The dude corrects people's spelling in their comments???!!!
I think that's the funniest p.s. I've ever seen in my life.
>Kripke delivered the John Locke Lectures in philosophy at Oxford in 1973. Titled Reference and Existence, they are in many respects a continuation of Naming and Necessity, and deal with the subjects of fictional names and perceptual error. They have never been published and the transcript is officially available only in a reading copy in the university library, which cannot be copied or cited without Kripke's permission. In fact many copies are informal circulated among philosophers. Its influence, though considerable, is thus difficult to trace.
That seems pretty odd.
PS my real name is Saul Kripke.
Very funny, Mr. Searle.
The lesson I learned by observation around age 16 or so, if not earlier, was that if one doesn't write on the basis that the person you'd least like to read what you wrote is going to read it, you're going to be unpleasantly surprised sooner or later.
Thus my lack of ever bothering with any attempt to be anonymous. When it counts, it's not going to work, so why bother?, is my view. (No one else need agree with me, of course.)
I never liked that bitch anyhow... Too full of herself. let her burn!!!
He better not try and get my real Identity, or I may have to sick a certain oddly muscled reporter on him.
