Look, John, you are the one who started by insulting me. I asked if Ron was listening on account of his asking me to explain free will vs determinism in terms of the MOQ. And this discussion didn't include him. So I was merely being polite in asking if he was listening, or reading if you will.
You on the other hand were just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. Or so I inferred by your shouting at me.

As it is, I think you oughta stick to telling stories. I'm not asking for your respect for my metaphysical opinions but a little respect wouldn't hurt, if you really want to have a discussion.
