 You mean, the post where I pointed out to Salyavin that he was hanging his hat 
on metaphysics rather than science?
 

 I was impressed, it was a damn good way of getting out of answering the 
question. Again. And laden with your usual insults to cover your embarrassment 
too perhaps.
 
 BTW, I haven't noticed that Salyavin has any hesitation about paying attention 
to me. He did start this discussion, after all, and he sure doesn't seem as 
though he's ready to quit. But he does seem to be more interested in blathering 
than engaging, so I'd be perfectly happy if he just gave it up.
 

 I bet, it's a tricky question to answer because it requires invoking things 
that can't be observed and that don't fit in with what can be observed. Be as 
metaphysical as you like!
 

 But if you want to drop it fine. I couldn't answer it.
 

 Finally, imagine someone who, when called on this, has nothing to fall back on 
but trying to "correct" the person they're trying to get attention from about a 
nitpick.
