Harold Pinter acknowledgement speech

[Thecla]

That doesnt square at all with your original post. Considering your dodge(the post Im replying to) Im now sure that you simply didnt bother reading before your initial response.

But for the record I didnt say Pinter had such a mind. I really know rather little about him beyond what he said in the speach.
But given his lead off comments I would find it rather absurd if any one gave weight to his specific opinions on the basis of any respect they had for him.

Ok Ghost, now you are really confusing me. You didn't say Pinter had such a mind, but you quoted the first line of his speech, which I included (in quote marks) in my quote of your post. Perhaps you don't assume that when Pinter says in his Nobel prize winning speech that " 'There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false' " and --- I did read the whole speech before posting here, in fact I had read it before --- that "I believe that these assertions still make sense" he doesn't really mean it. But I sort of think he does. And I understood from your post (please correct me if I misunderstood you) that you thought that if this were Pinter's true belief, then he must have burned out half his brain on drugs, and also from your subsequent post that I'm most likely an idiot. Well, on the basis of this response, you may very well have something there.
