thomas' abuse clearly wasn't directed at you, and since you admit that you don't get what he's saying, you have no way to tell whether or not it was justified. way to throw the mandate of heaven into the trash mate

It seems to me that some groups of people I follow are more interested in fighting than in analysis.

I wholeheartedly reject the implication that analysis is, or should be, the business of pacifists

I sense a smuggled premise in that statement. What would you guess it is?

jeez what is it with you NRx fanboys and that faux socratic bullshit of having others guess what you could be talking about

see, the difference here is that you are merely insulting, while I did so without dropping out of the intellectual engagement. no wonder you have trouble thinking fighting and analysis together, you should work on that

No, I think the real difference is that you have brain worms and would make a fascinating case for closer study.
