Did you want to discuss your speculations that I had assumed the Celts coming to America was a sectarian myth, that because the Pilgrims were vulnerable the Celts were also, and that because they arrived they did not go back and forth? Did I starve intelligent discussion of light by telling you they weren't correct? Should I have pretended they were correct? Should I have added my own speculations about the Celts themselves, about whom I know next to nothing? Should I have argued with your speculations?
