In this thread, you provided this “note”:
So, for the record: When I do, I will.
In the meantime, I believe you have entirely misunderstood my post. Perhaps this is my fault, so here is a re-phrase:
“Although you posted this in MPSIMS rather than in Great Debates, and therefore one may assume that you are not intending a serious debate, nevertheless I surmise from what I know of your posting history that you are in some sense still trying to make a serious point; this is also supported by the fact that you said in the OP that these examples are “true”. It is my opinion that this level of example does not do a very good job of supporting your case.”
I hope that makes it clear that I in no way had a problem with the poster. I was defending myself from the accusation of being a wet blanket (which elicited no comment from you) for challenging the content of the OP and the conclusions derived from it.
It strikes me that, if I were off base anywhere in that thread, it was in taking it seriously in the first place. In which case, you should have made a “note” against my first post and told me that we’re not allowed to be serious in MPSIMS.
