[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Striking at the Heart of the Grammar Police State



1. IS A CALL FOR CLARITY AND CONTEXT IN NETTIME POSTS
REALLY A TROJAN 
HORSE
FOR A CULTURAL-CONSERVATIVE AGENDA WHOSE ULTIMATE GOAL
IS THE 
IMPOSITION OF
SOUL-SHRIVELING GRAMMATICAL AND STYLISTIC STANDARDS
INTENDED TO 
SUFFOCATE
ARTISTIC EXPRESSION, AVANT-GARDE INNOVATION, AND
CULTURAL DIVERSITY (BE 
IT
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, DIASPORIC, FEMINIST, NON-ANGLOPHONIC
"ENGLISHES," OR
WHATEVER)?

i do not think so. though i have been hesitant to
respond as i feel i lack the wit and vocabulary to
accurately express my opinion, i think mark's request
was a simple one:
context would have been nice. 
i too was a bit confused by "no people" and
considering the fact that the writer had such a
specific stimulus in writing it, i think it only fair
that the reader be clued in 'cos the inspiration for
this piece was not made any more obvious by READING
the piece multiple times.
