Hi dmb, I can see how you would think you need to do that given the embarrassing position you find yourself in. You've berated me for "improper use of terms" while you've been found to have been defending compatiblism as the exact opposite of what your beloved SEP defines it to be. You berated me for months for asserting two mutually exclusive fundamentally conflicting ideas (clearly taking the incompatiblist position while claiming compatiblism), while according to the SEP, to that incompatiblist claim your beloved "James responds that once we compare the practical consequences of determinism being true with the practical consequences of our possessing freedom of the will, we find that there is no conflict." How embarrassing for you!
I'd hate to see you bail out now that we are making so much progress. The real motorcycle you are working on is yourself. You see, dmb? It's very important that you try to understand that. Look, philosophy isn't about winning and losing, and it's not for wusses who check out after being embarrassed for being revealed to have fallen far short of the standards they try to impose upon others. It is about learning from such situations about how not to be such a dick in the future. You know? I'd be happy to help, but if you check out now, you'll miss this important opportunity for personal growth. (I really mean that.)
