Well, I thought we had a track record of genuine elenchus that underscored our mutual respect and admiration. I didn't mean to offend you. I was simply marveling at the most, uh, unusual structure of your mind. I still think you pose a mortal risk to anyone living within a 500 mile radius of your home, should two or three of the mutually exclusive ideas swirling in your head accidentally collide, but I meant that in the most positive way possible!
