Whoops, I was wrong. There is more.

I apologize for my former flippancy. This is serious and I should have treated it as such.

I'm afraid you lost all of your credibility with me when you claimed to know the condition of my soul, as expressed in your statement of my motives. That is outside the pale.

I will discuss the issues with you, but I will not pretend to know why you say the things you do, what your motives are, where you acquired your knowledge, etc., and I will end any discussion with you when you pretend to know the same things about me.

You are very big on telling others what they can not know. Your lack of confidence in the explanatory powers of induction and deduction does not in the least way touch on their utility and validity.

But I see now you are trying to extricate yourself from the discussion and save face at the same time.

That's a pity, and a waste.
