Marsha: Yet again, dmb, conflates caring, with caring about himself. While he quotes RMP that the 'Cartesian self' is an illusion, he forever struggles to puff up his status at the expense of someone else. Rather than present interesting MoQ ideas for discussion, he is prone to dangling quotes, feigned indignation and whining. Harassment and hyperbole rather than dialogue is his style. His condensation does not allow for honest debate, as he disappears at the first sign of a legitimate defense.
Dmb, you have absolutely nothing I want. Nothing!
