You want to talk about private individuals

Nope. That's not what I want and not what I am doing, or was doing.

I am discussing a pattern of behavior and the interpretation it suggests and the pathologies with which it is similar. I did so publicly because I expected that doing so would provoke more pronouncedly symptomatic behavior. In this I was correct.

Having been diagnosed by Quix more than once and having been told that Marian devotion has a neurotic basis (complete with a graphic of the book jacket presented) I would have thought this was acceptable. But the rules here suppose or demand a logical absurdity: namely that an attack on all the members of set is not an attack on any particular member of a set.

I may say, "Catholics are fools and scoundrels" and "You are a Catholic." But you must respond as though syllogistic verities did not apply here.

Further, an appeal by your side for "dealing with the question" is laughable on its face. I have already shown why by describing what happens when a Catholic tries to "Deal with the question" and many posters here, not naming names at all, then demonstrated precisely what I was describing.
