you may as well claim that you must understand donkeys in order to
ride in trains

A ridiculous non-response.

oh dear....
so, i'll give you another bite

Well, that one was better.

i'm getting a little bored by the denialism!

Such terminology may apply to some but not to me.

that was my impression...
however, you are perpetrating a series of denialist posts/quotes

regard...

That may well be true. I do not always agree with every aspect of what i
post. But i do post it, and will continue to do so, when I think that one
"side", which deserves to be at least heard, is being quashed. An analogy
to this would be the extent of political "debate" tolerated in autocracies.

To be trite, I subscribe to the view most often ascribed to Voltaire that "I
may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to
say it". (Well, maybe not the death part......)

i've no problem with you posting it.....
you should have no problem with my shredding it......or even
with a certain irritation with yet another tranche of the rather
repetitive nonsense....

i may even welcome the opportunities to keep bopping it until it
decides to lie down....

i do think a lot of this is theoretical blather/speculation.....
i start to respond each time around, eppur si muove.....

i'm an empiricist....
theory is ever secondary to me :-)

regards...
