Well, that's too bad, as I had come to look forward to these exchanges in much the same way that my wife anticipates the Times crosswords - i.e. as a challenging but ultimately inconsequential mental exercise (I say inconsequential because this sort of debating shows no sign of solving the puzzle of what minds are.) It seems to me to be an unfortunate choice for you to retire with a somewhat serious, yet passively-voiced, allegation, but if that is how you want to present yourself, then so be it, and people can make of it what they will. Best wishes to you!
