In one of our prtracted conversations we touched upon both Joyce and logical fallacies. I'd written something very similar on my own Bloomsday post.<BR/>My understanding of the Nakheeran 'controversy' was probably closer to your dad's. I did not know the context of the conflict between N. and Sivan, but I thought that Nakheeran represented what is only a conter to an Ad Hominem argument. "You might be Shiva, yes, I recognise that, but that does not absolve you of a logical fallacy in your writing". Since reading what you'd written, I suppose I have to revise my idea, yet, I am terribly uncomfortable with the idea that the god was right. I suppose that's the best part about myths that get trasnferred and moved out of context. CheersAnandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605457282146232788noreply@blogger.com
