I have just posted the last chapter in my Ethics Without God (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46876) series.
Being the end of the series, it concerns the most recent part of my life, including my participation in the Internet Infidel forums.
A part of the series concerns the main focus of many of my posts in this forum, a criticism of Common Subjectivism. Some here will recognize the argument. Some here have contributed to the form that the final essay took.
Now that I have approached the end (at least of the first draft), I really should be taking some names of some of the people whose posts have influenced the form that some of these arguments have taken.
The bad thing is, I am terrible with names, so I am going to have to go back and do some searches, and figure out just who some of you are.
99Percent: It's been over a year since our debates. While actually involved in an online debate, there is a tendency to hold tenaciously to the position one has started off defending. I won't say that you were right, but you pointed out some areas where my grasp of some of the ideas that I was defending was a bit lacking. While I think I still saw some errors in your view, I'm not so willingly to dogmatically assert that the main points were entirely wrong.
bd-from-kg: You, too, have proved to be a persistent challenge. I had to do a lot of hard thinking to get my mind around some of the concepts you were throwing out, and in doing so I saw many of the things I was trying to say in a whole new light.
Oh, and I would like to add one final comment, which I cover in this chapter of the essay.
Subjectivism must die.
