We may as well get this out in the open once and for all.
By the way, I think this can count as Philosophy though not formalized. If not, move it I care not whither.
In some places and times, the testimony of a person with years and experience lent credence to a proposition.
In other places and times, including 2011 in the US, as many of us have experienced, speaking out on a No Fly topic invalidates everything else the person may say or do.
So here is a short list for me. Feel free to ridicule, dismiss, shun me - I been dissed by fancier people nor what you are.
Professionally:
As a linguist I am NOT a transformationalist. Green Monkey
As a linguist, I have an idea about relationships for Basque. Automatic Ridicule
As an academic, I do not believe in indoctrination . DANGER
As an academic, I embraced Christianity. DANGER
As an academic, I voted to maintain academic standards against deans and colleagues. ROGUE
As a person I am a Christian. DANGER
As a person I have found merit in the Enneagram as a tool for sorting personality. Automatic Ridicule.
As a person I am uninterested in sports or politics. Green Monkey
As a person I talk a lot about my interests. Green Monkey.
As a person I use Homeopathy. DANGER
As a person I do not align with liberals or conservatives. DANGEROUS Green Monkey
As a Christian I am unchurched. Green Monkey.
As a Christian I buy into both the Real Presence and Charismata. Green Monkey
As a Christian I buy into Contemplative Prayer. DANGER
As a Christian I go with the Nicene Creed but do not align with any denomination. DANGEROUS Green Monkey.
That is not really the entire list, but good enough.
When you are done laughing and feeling outrage, I am here, more than happy to talk reasonably.
