(i) I suggest that, if anyone is interested, we continue ensuing discussion as much as possible in a private manner off this list, as the connection to the instutional goal of SUO is rather tenuous here.

RM : People will think that I am incorrigible but - forgive-me- I am not able  prevent myself to analyse your proposal like "politically correct" because it is not a private question .
Indeed you connect this question to the institutional aim of SUO:  what could be more public?...The acceptance of your proposan would be a delial of my purpose...
Nevertheless I think that it would be counter-productive to continue publicly and accordingly I am partisan of suspending the thread until others start again it.
Indeed one be able consider that the question of the neutrality of ontologies is stated and that  brief replies are given.
It therefore rests on everybody to wonder in conscience the deontology of the practice of the ontologists.If  is true that the construction of ontologies occurs on an ideological base concealed in the eyes of the actors then sufficiently strong contradictions will emerge so that they appear in the future discussions.
Now I make my profit of your critical remarks which supply my own reflection very usefully and thank you.
I  finish in French with a well-known quotation of Rabelais:  "Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme".
