Oh no… sometimes Architect calls for a serious argument construct.  That he does not have one of his own, does not mean that he is not paying attention.

GF merely needs to come out of his intellectual “black hoodie.” At first I thought he was trolling us… but, maybe not so.  And, you could be right, he might be sittin’ there smiling and laughing with a beer in his hand.  That notwithstanding, If he doesn’t make any sense, I just go on to the next post.

“…Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story…” – and – “…If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter…” -  Desiderata,  Max Ehrmann

I don’t think of Architect or GF as dull or ignorant… just different.  BOTH of them have pushed a button that has sent me off on research.  And when they make a valid or believable/actionable case, sometimes I respond.

I don’t want to try and drive them off the LMF… and I won’t block them.

Yes… I would like for either or both of them to string together a logical argument for their positions… free of stridency and invective.
