Are you or are you not a minimalist?

[razz]

Why the concern over how many times a poster returns to a given topic?

There's a free market in ideas (off-campus, at least, and maybe excluding Oscar night). Nobody's obliged to purchase an oversupply. If you're not interested, just don't engage. If someone maximizes minimalism or returns yet again to the threat facing medical tourism in Mexico, you don't need to engage. You don't even need to read it

No one is limiting anyone. The thread title from UL's OP asks the question: "Are you or are you not a minimalist?". I was seeking the answer from UL in regards to his interpretation of minimalism in his posts. Why is this suddenly unacceptable?

I won’t speak for UL, but I think there is a difference between the practice and the theory behind the practice. Asking him why he doesn’t limit his posts the same way he limits his kitchen utensils confuses that difference. It could easily be construed as an invitation to shut up.

We do not want to silence UL! Rah rah UL! Dont stop posting!

It looks like UL has stopped posting, and removed his avatar, too.

i know, so sorry UL. I hope that, sfter some time away, you return.

Hopefully he is just taking a break. UL seems like he can both dish it out and take it, and has never appeared to be too thin-skinned.

He may just need a break. I agree that I don’t think he is thin skinned.

[LDAHL]

I hope he comes back. Part of the reason I keep coming here is to see what he’ll say next. His history and outlook are so different from mine that I often come away with food for thought.

I always enjoyed his topics - regardless of how similar they may have been to each other. I hope he returns.

A lot of interesting posters here have been run off over the years because they didn't fit some other poster's idea of what the posts here are supposed to look like. It was more fun for me in the free wheeling early days. Oh, well. It seems that some things don't change.
