Thanks Charlie. I'm hear what you say. This has been a thought ruminating in the back of my mind since I first saw the offending post No. 18.
But I wanted to allow for the possibility, slim though that there might be a genuine and valid argument that Peter Dawson wished to present - sometime in the foreseeable future - and that he would be able to establish his bona fides as a consequence.
That hope hasn't entirely diminished - yet - although it grows weaker by the day. Despite Magda providing the ammunition necessary that Mr. Dawson said he needed to complete his promised rebuttal (I refer, of course, to the "merged" EF thread), but he now seems to be excusing the continued absence of this by saying that he's "too lazy" to do this now (tellingly using one of my more regular excuses).
Hence my post today.
Will this rebuttal ever materialize or are we all simply to be subjected to more banalities posing as arguments and more ad hom attacks - that the founding members of this forum are so familiar with?
The sand in the hourglass is nearly extinguished, I think.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
