Re: bad poetry?

You were a righteously uncivil beast, Jim... not that I mind uncivil beastliness in the least bit.

Yep, I did define "generality" -- I think I called it something along
the lines of a single statement used to describe a wide range or class
of subjects. I distinguished this from a summary (which is what I
provided of Christianity and Buddhism to provide a contrast), or a
description (which is what I think Blake was doing in the quote I kept
bringing up again and again -- in this case, a description of a habit of
thought. I think the quotation is actually from Blake's marginalia in
one of the books he'd read -- probably Bacon, because he hated Bacon).

Some things just annoy me. I wasn't committed to incivility or opposed
to Luke per se.
