Q--, as far as I know you can always choose not to read it.   But perhaps somebody is forcing you to do so.

Mr. FO--if you by some chance don't enjoy my looking down at you, you could always try hauling yourself out of the gutter.   Unless it's too much effort or goes against the essence of your being.

And if we're going to speculate, let's pursue the tenure theory a bit.    Say for instance, Mr. FO was an assistant professor at a small college, never did get tenure, and has been bitter at historians--and anybody who asks for logic and proof--ever since.

Just a theory.   To go with the "Jesuit" theory.





Not that I would argue with the idea that this thread is played out.
