Here's one time I wished I had a quote from my post in front of me ;) I
don't think subjective words are meaningless--I don't think I'd even use
the phrase, "Subjective words." I'm going to have to go back to my
original post to see what I said, though, I don't remember.
WAIT, I remember--the idea of a particular subject or question being
"uninteresting" is
"void of content" as far as "my interest in the discussion is concerned."
That's what I meant by my comment.
In other words, the fact that anyone finds a particular subject
uninteresting isn't interesting to me ( :) ), because I learn nothing
about the subjects I care about--namely, the book under discussion.
