[EXTERNAL] Wolfe & Women

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Like the fable of the Fox and the Grapes there is the maxim that the 
Grass is always greener on the other side of the Fence. Both relate to 
the ways in which the mechanisms of desire subvert rationality. (/Sour 
Grapes/ by Jon Elster) These are common to all men including the 
politically correct, who may think otherwise from the height of their 
moral elevation.
