Point taken, and my apologies.

I feel I should say, however, without getting into deeper discussion here or launching a separate one, that it wasn’t my belief that the other poster was “lying” or my intention to make such an accusation. My belief was that his _ **interpretation** _ of the philosophy in question was rather extreme and would not likely find mainstream support – a matter of questionable interpretation rather than of misrepresented fact. But there were indeed more courteous ways of saying the same thing. 🙂
