Agreeing to differ, sort of. Lovely to see someone told off good and proper but with such civility.

Well, this is great. Bertrand Russell is on my very short list of absolute heroes and this just makes me like him more.

Bertrand is a name that needs to make a comeback here in the US. It hasn't been in the top 1000 baby names since 1948, when it was #900.

Perhaps I will name my next cat Bertrand.

Do it, JanetLand! He will be a distinguished fellow with a white ruff and paws. Most likely a Maine Coon. I have spoken.

God I love this.

I wonder if Sir Moseley even understood it. Most people who don't perceive such stark differences of opinion & value wouldn't comprehend at all what Bertrand was so eloquently saying.
