You continue an unbroken streak of responding only to the Peripheral parts of any argument.

And you continue to produce things that I did not write. I merely said they were provocative. I took no side in the actual statements.

If you don't care to respond to the substance of an argument, why post at all. If you take the trouble to post a "provocative" quotation from a book, but have no opinion on the substance of the quote, why bother posting in the first place?
