Have I really used that term of myself in on-list correspondence in more
recent years? While I am not averse to claiming it, I really think that the
way we use such labels in list-correspondence is a way of dismissing other
people's opinions without thinking very seriously about them. I didn't and
don't expect that my comments will find wide acceptance among list-members,
but it should be noted (once again) that we aren't enforcing any particular
"orthodoxy" of views here, and also that the proper focus of discussion is
the meaning of the Greek, in this instance the meaning of GLWSSA and
whether it is to be interpreted in all NT texts in the same way. On that
issue I think there may well be more than one viewpoint.
