Or perhaps Horse, for letting me in the door. I just innocently responded to what I read. I'm not a big fan of defending myself, for selfs are tricky things to define, much less defend, but I will say that I can't recall a single utterance of Dr. McWatt's, that wasn't derivative, facile or just plain stupid. I didn't mean to make ant look stupid, it just turned out he was/is. Sorta like dmb, somebody that uses social badges as demonstrations of intellectual ability. Although to be fair, I haven't heard from Dave in a while, and he has undoubtedly learned more. That's the great secret, isn't it. To not hold on too tightly to the past and always be aware that we could be wrong. RIP, Platt. As far as Ant goes, I don't know the man. All I know are the words he shared (and didn't share) with me. That and a rumour about turning his back on somebody, leaving a pub on a day a long time ago. But who knows. Rumours, eh? Come to think of it, you haven't had such a great track record neither "Adrie". Weren't you at one time a great proponent of "peak oil"? You also offered me the opinion that James and Royce were enemies and other dogmatic certainties of yours that I didn't refute at the time, regarding Idealism vs. Pragmatism, which I found out later was complete nonsense. And instead of witty retort and repartee, you and your ilk resort to ad hominem-ad infinitum. Insult and vituperation with no shred of humour or wit. Why has the MD died? Hmmm... I wonder. Blame who you will, but death, like life, is a collaborative effort, imho. It's up to you. Say something smart, and it will live.
