Inconsistent? Aravir and myself have spent this entire thread educating you and telling you of our point of view and now you say we've refused?

Aravir said specifically: "In fact I do not expect you to learn, nor do I care whether you do." I call that refusal.

You have tried to get me to accept responsibility for vague generalizations. While I would be happy to discuss things I have specifically said, I regret that I cannot accept responsibility for things you will not do me the courtesy of qualifying.

It seems to me that you don't want to be educated and you don't want to listen to other points of view.

I have yet to hear any, other than attempts to get me to admit responsibility for things I did not say or do. (with the exception of that listed below)

Any who read this are invited to speak with me on these, or any other issues they feel my point of view has bearing, or to speak with me regarding things they think I have overlooked or misunderstood. They are welcome to address me publicly, or privately as they wish. I will endeavor to answer all questions and other letters as quickly and completely as I can.

No doubt they'll get the same muddled answers you've given here.

Well, that's for them to decide isn't it? I'm sorry the idea that other readers might be allowed to choose for themselves bothers you.

Of course, I should have expected this sort-of behavior from the person who would lock me in a Purple Tor Inn room to ask me about my opinions on mystics. If I had known then about your true nature, I wouldn't have spent so much time talking to you. For some reason, I thought my opinions mattered and you were worth the time. Maybe you haven't been educated by this discussion but I certainly have and on many levels.

Your opinions do indeed matter to me, regardless of your ire. Alas, I have thus far heard only one of them: That being, that you felt I consider the 'Brions to be "fellow scholars," and I assume you also believe I am kindly disposed to them. This single opinion you have been kind enough to offer me, is an incorrect assumption regarding me, as I have detailed elsewhere. I would be more than glad to hear any other opinions you might have, but you have failed to offer them.
