Rob and other friends,
David misrepresented what I said by taking my words
out of context. I do not wish to respond at the moment.
So many issues were tangled and misconceived that I
want to reflect on whether to respond and what kind
of response to offer.
If you want to respond to David's claims, feel free. Justr
don't mix me up in it, and please don't mistake David's
mis-statement of my views for the views I hold.
Rob, you should especially recognize the fact that I tend
to agree with what you said. You can't confuse one sentence
out of context in a polemical attack as a fair representation
of my carefully delimited post.
As you well know, I share many of Bryan Byrnes's views
on these issues and many of Susan Squires's. They invited
me to write the concluding chapter to their book.
If you want to argue with me on some point, fire away. But
please don't argue at me over a single phrase ripped out
of the context of a specific, delimited argument. Argue with
my views and not with a misrepresentation.
