Whether it's pushpin, poetry or neither, you can discuss it here.

Academic consequentialists

Wikipedia's list of utilitarians is quite limited, so I thought I'd add names (of consequentialists rather than just necessarily utilitarians) here as I came across them.

How are the mods coming along, btw? Do I need to start thinking about the next stages?

Walter Sinnott-Armstrong is a terrific spokesperson for science and for the legal profession.
He clearly writes about consequentialism, but how do you know that he believes it?

This Sunday, I'll put at-least one mod online. Considering that there are only two mods left, it's a good time to start thinking about the next stage. What is the worst that can happen: our preferred layout is unable to cope with one to two mods? Given that I either successfully install these mods, or if not, that I successfully uninstall them, our pages are close to their final state :)

The main thing that's still holding me back from getting a logo designed is the page width. I thought you'd shrunk it, but when I access it at home it still looks fullscreen. I think my PC at home is set to a lower res, but the RDForums seem to take up the same proportion of the screen as they do at work, so now I'm confused.

As it turns out, that seems more like RDForum's problem than ours. (Arepo and I are continuing this correspondence by email)
