Bruce Abbott (961022.2020) --
I'd be VERY careful about swinging that two-edged sword in such close
quarters, Rick; it just might cut the wrong target. It seems to me that the
main thing you and Bill do on CSGNET is . . . teach!
You're right. It was a thoughtless and rude comment. Fortunately, however,
I'm not responsible for making it since what I say is just the
"evolutionary" result of the history reinforcement to which I have been
exposed (subjected?)
Well, in that case you should be VERY careful about your choice of environments!
(That choice would be determined by your history of reinforcement, by the
way.) B. F. sez (in _Freedom & Dignity_) that we _can_ still hold you
responsible for your behavior, by which he simply means arranging
consequences for it. So the next time you screw up, two guys named Leni and
Tony may be stopping by your house for a little "talk," if you get my drift.

Contingently yours,
B(.F.)ruce
