Bosssman--

1. Chalmer's name was not simply "dropped"--I mentioned him and then quoted an argument from one of his essays.

2. You and your crew are so paranoid and worried about some slight or disparaging remarks that you are unable to accurately assess the writing (and the arguments) as a whole.

3, "Showed potential"--another example of your arrogant, shallow, control phreak approach to the online writing game. No, it didn't "show potential": I clearly outlined a philosophical position, using Chalmer's points to establish the possibility of immaterial mind, and then indicating that such immaterialism might be (though it's unlikely) some justification for theological views. I also made use of some pragmatic arguments (we think of villains in hell) as well as the literary tradition (Dante--remember you put him in the prompt?).

5. Finally, if you think that the fluffy, sentimental pieces that you ended posting up on the "afterlife" prompt are above my essay, you simply are a dumbphuck, and I shall not concern myself any further with you or your site, which is really in essence not about literature or philosophy, but about hype and marketing...

6. Was I discussing this with you anyways?
