But it also gives us an opportunity to discuss and further explore the matters brought up by the book in more depth and detail with Joseph, and I hope the Joseph also takes away from us new insights and ideas that might further develop this subject area for another time.
I do think Joseph you have dodged CD's pointed questions. And you are correct, they are important. But accusing you of doing it for economic reasons was over the edge on my part as you and Magda have pointed out. I apologize and withdraw my accusation.
Thank you, Magda and Lauren. I appreciate your good words and
the spirit behind them.
As I say, I welcome and wish for lively discussions with pointed questions and/or disagreements
about my research and ideas. I am critical of various books and researchers
in INTO THE NIGHTMARE but try to focus on their arguments logically rather
than making ad hominem attacks. An ad hominem attack is usually a sign
the person making it has no genuine argument. We see a lot of that
on other forums. Sometimes I have trouble understanding a question
if it's too vague or unformed. I don't try to dodge questions if
they are serious and focused on issues. So I look forward to clearly pointed ones
here. There are a lot of highly knowledgeable people here, which
is why I came to this site to have good discussions.
