[MD] Metaphysics

Yes!  Krimel, save me from this onslaught of ignorance!
Show me the way!  I am but a poor ignorant servant.
What do I need to know, oh wise one?

Amen.

Matt,
You are offering sage advice here. I wish I were up to the task of following
it. I want to acknowledge fully, from the outset, when I am at my most
venomous, it could be the result of some personality disorder. 

I hear what you are saying about addressing the tender minded lurker. But I
think I share Arlo's concern that if Platt, Ham and Bo are allowed to go on
with no challenge at all, then the lurker is left with the impression that
what our dimwitted brethren say is acceptable to the rest of us. Also, it is
not as though I have shied away from giving long, detailed and reasoned
analysis of their flawed logic. I have at various times tried, fable,
poetry, koan, aphorism, autobiography and fantasy as well.

I take your suggestion to be that it might be helpful to all to tone it down
a notch and while I promise to try, I can't guarantee results. But to
present you with just a touch of opposite advice, you say, "If I sound oh-so
too reasonable, you've never seen me handle a bigot."

It is true; I haven't. Which leads me to ask, why you have not reacted to
the bigotry of Platt and Ham's screeds on multiculturalism and Islam; or
Bo's blatantly anti-Semitic accounts of history?
