I said nothing about the man "selling out his principles" -- that remark belongs all to you

The insinuation belongs to you -- why else would you dismiss what he wrote as being only for money?

I know about patronage. Quite a similar situation to politicians -- some accept money from those who agree with them and want to support their principles; some sell their votes in exchange for money.

Well the truth appears to be that he did indeed take the manuscript to court hoping to find a sponsor and he was rewarded with a pension. I didn’t insinuate anything — you are mind reading

we could always go back to the original kernel that you wanted to make a fuss about:

Do any Protestants today worship QE1? Do we build shrines to her? pray to her? put her into our theology, add her to the Trinity, dress up little statues of her and carry her thru the streets? give her a sceptre in heaven to rule over us? make her the doorway to heaven?

I do believe that was the topic you avoided with your strawman argument
