There are many ways to answer this question. And is in a range. With
lots of fudging...<br>
<br>
There is a the generous view McTim espoused recently. Then the
apposite RPerry 'absurd and self-evident'.<br>
<br>
Then there is the experience of Auerbach, MM Ruling the Root, and of
course 'if it aint broke don't fix it' to the 'you are crazy' - in
historical time of this list. <i>This of course is not technical,
but about how tendencies in 'groups' are projected/interpreted in
the POLITICAL realm.</i> Technically we know there was monovalent
position on CIR when as RP puts it was bivalent. We know the score
:)<br>
<br>
For technical definitions I think KR and DR and perhaps Auerbach may
be more up your alley, as I am not inclined to anachronistic views,
and revisionism. Auerbach's Cave Bear may still be one of the best
resources, if you are interested in a critical perspective. And as
Norbert changed the tenor here, so will just let sleeping dogs lie
regarding my personal experiences.<br>
<br>
But by the 1rooter debate precedent was set by this in the IGC and
it is a flexibility I interpret to afford 'us' equal space to make
claims in which we are able to define 'the terms of the terms' of
engagement. A rather difficult and tedious process - intellectual
diversity is certainly not the IGC's forte.<br>
<br>
There is <i>very little</i> in common, despite what McTim suggests,
in some of the positions too - although with a legitimate structure
a single root would be less offensive (for instance MMs and McT's
internationalisation are definitely not how I see it - to bring
issues up to date the 'evolved 1 rooters' (and then some) and my
kinda ilk).<br>
<br>
Political lines are drawn rather clearly. I can't make you feel good
about your positions, nor can you about mine. That is just politics.
