Ake,

Thank you for that retraction.

When I first ebngaged with you on here I argued that you were not thinkng your ideas through properly.

When you stuck up relentlessly for points that were similarly carelesssly written, I drew the conclusion that you intended to deliberately mislead.

My hand is always ready to extend to the person who is able to acknowledge that their remarks may have been careless.

For me it is not about the person, but the idea.

And regardless of who the person is, I will confront poisonous ideas head on.

I suspect that it took some guts to write your apology above, and I respect that.

I don't know if this is grounds to be optimistic or not that you will take more care and be more considerate in future, but who knows eh?

I'm out of this thread as there is nothing left for me to add.
