This gets my vote for the first topic of the new Lila Squad mailing list. Firstly because
it is very relevant to the morality issues involved in Lila and secondly because it
provides us with a good example of how not to conduct the business of a mailing list
discussion as has been shown with the last several posts from a certain group of people
who are currently behaving like kindergarten children. I don't remember the last time I
saw so many posts of such low quality bickering, backbiting and general stupidity. I am
of course referring to the 'Many truths and Schrodingers Cat' thread. Despite my own
request, Rogers request and the general rules of the forum several of you continue to
indulge in a ridiculous exercise in point-scoring which is neither welcome nor
appropriate on this mailing list. So will you all please cut the crap and at least make
some attempt to return to relevant and, possibly, intelligent discussion because at the
moment I'm failiing to see anything that resembles either of these possibilities.

It's all still not very good at the moment but it could get better
