George > I notice that the title of the blog is the "Procrustean". Wasn't Procrustes the chap who stretched or squashed people to fit his bed? So presumably the blogger is aware that he is fitting these ideas to his own preconceptions. > -Actually its pretty clear the guy isn't aware of some of the connotations of Procrustes. Apparently he murdered random people by attacking them, and cutting off or stretching arms and legs to fit in iron bed. But yeah, it's to make things fit into an arbitrary length. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrustes

\"Why is it, Master, that ascetics fight with ascetics?\"
\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
