John, Are you aware of just how publicly rude you appear to sound to me and maybe others? I find your present and previous critiques of Gene's contribution both erudite and lacking generative, solution-oriented responses. If his postings have been loaded with presuppositions which you have, until now, chosen not to respond to - then your posts are rife with distortions of well meaning contributions from many persons trying to discuss the content of your book or 'your work' as you call it. You impose your model of the world on others vocabulary, intention, etc. then completely strike down any attempt they have made at discussing their viewpoint which was different from your own. While this may be my hallucination, I find myself offended by your choice of words and manner of discourse. I wish you well in your attempt at garnering support for your new book. Resolutely, previous fan
