AC: I propose a truce for a few days or longer until the world is sorted out. In any case I will not respond in an argumentative fashion on these type threads for the duration.
PH: No truce! We cannot suspend reality, nor will I withhold my belief in it, nor my defense of it, nor will I ever make any truce with any delusional belief systems. Isn't that what this war is all about?

The real difference here is probably smaller than the apparent vast gulf. We're all going to be very distracted with other stories, other threads, over the next hope-it's-not-very-long. Let us hope that the crevo action will be light-to-nil for the duration.

I will play defense (do nothing to start up the action) over said duration. (OK, not a big shift as I haven't started a thread in forever.) Nevertheless I share PH's intolerance for misrepresentation or fantasy masquerading as science and will respond to provocatively fraudulent posts where noted.

Fair enough. Vigorous defense. Eternal vigilence. We will be busy enough elsewhere that we don't need to be provocative, but reason can't afford to sleep.
