I did not see the original context of the "Wrong", and you could be correct.

If you have never defended such criticisms, then I misjudge you.

I have never said such nor do I think such. What does that say?

I don't see what's wrong with a simple argument for a simple issue. Granted, some issues are ill served by oversimplification. If you want to highlight complexities, expand discussions, nudge people to explore new territories, please do. I don't find your recent approach with Leandro very constructive, productive, effective or illuminating. You seem to have kept it up for a while. I do not understand what you get out of it to keep going.

I know you are not against the RM and I already know that you do not really side with the likes of Carl, which is why I find some of your apparent behaviour perverse. Of course, a lot goes on in a newsgroup and I may be confusing things. I apologize if you feel I have maligned or mistreated you.
