Nice try DMB ... Switching the rhetoric to "darling Ian" doen't change the attack.
You quoted me (explicitly) and said "that just kills me. Only a philosophical tyrant could make as assertion like that" responding directly to my quote, not Godels' or anyone else's - there is no ambiguity. If that was accidental, fine, just apologize for your error. Horse I think you should be filtering DMB's mails so that you protect him from such future errors. Email kills.
