Paul,
Grow up and shut up. That will help make the reason for anyone else's
defensiveness go away.
Your latest post doesn't.

Thanks to those who have contacted me on the subject relating my mocking
approach of mr. Hessler comments. I agree that it is better to stop this
discussion as mr. Hessler, ad nauseam, takes his trusted defensive
position yet again in “apologizing” to the list for the STUPIDITY of his
criticasters. Under those circumstances continuing any argument with mr.
Hessler is senseless ... I was warned before ... I should have known
better. You win!

Paul,
Let me understand this...you decide to criticize a group of scholar's
participating in a conference who you do not know, and whose
scholarship you have not read, and then when presented with the facts,
and called to defend your critique of said scholars, you become
sarcastic and belittling......seems utterly pointless and a waste of
energy...I apologize to the list for having taken anything you say
seriously and attempting to explain our choices and our reasons for
giving new scholars a forum for expression.

Dear Hister John
Thanks for the glowing words to my address. Were these verbs expressed by
an ordinary colleague I probably would have protested, but as they are
spoken by the infallible genius of the field, these lustrous words are
just a treat for my narrow, mediocre and powerless soul.
I do admit that it only was my petty and deplorable mind that dared to
pose questions on the highly scholarly layout of the forum organized by
you, as the whole scientific community agrees that all your brainchilds
and their unparalleled intellectual twists are beyond all doubt.
So therefore, once again, accept my humble apologies to you, the
Omnipotence of the list and uncontested king of the scholarly field.
In all humility
Paul van den Brink
