in thread A modest request of Merlyn

Of course, this is disregarding that Tarochial connotation for Fool, which is someone blithely wanders through life with n'ary a care in the world.

Ironically, I'd argue that the OP of this thread fits the Eco definition of "fool" (you know, with the world being divided into cretins, morons, fools and lunatics).

Of course, I hope this will not also be taken personally.

    Given a choice between the 4, I'd probably take fool, with cretin as a close second.

    Rest assured that your post, like the original subject, was not taken the least bit personally.
