[Buddha-l] Re: Natural lucidity for Socrates

[Dan Lusthaus]

Richard denies that ati-prasanga characterizes buddha-l (and the ati- prefix
means "exceeds", not the bland "not warranted"), and then undoes his own
claim by concluding:

> It is refreshing to see Dan using ati-prasanga in some other context than
his
> liberal employment of that fallacy in his analyses of Middle Eastern
politics

Not surprising coming from someone who feels ideological affinity with
Ahmadinejad, who dreams of nuking the Jewish state off the face of the map,
and has devoted and contributed major effort and resources to Hizbollah in
preparation for that. That Richard has dragged such ill informed ad hominems
and his own brand of political blindness into a thread where it doesn't
belong is its own special class of atiprasanga.
