It isn't related to this thread. I was thinking of past confusions between us over 'metaethics' and 'motivation' and 'meaning' where I didn't realize until pretty far into the discussion that you were using these terms to mean something different than they normally mean. I'd generally like to avoid that kind of thing; that's all I meant.
Well, I'm mostly not interested in the concepts corresponding to how these words are "normally" used. The miscommunication problems resulted from both me misinterpreting your usage, and your misinterpreting my usage. I won't be misinterpreting your usage in similar cases in the future, as I now know better what you mean by which words, and in my own usage, as we discussed a couple of times, I'll be more clear through using disambiguating qualifiers, which in most cases amounts to writing word "normative" more frequently.
(Still unclear/strange why you brought it up in this particular context, but no matter...)
Yup, that sounds good.
I brought it up because you mentioned communication, and your comment showed up in my LW inbox today.
