One always has something to say to another human being, Jim. Isn't it a bit prescriptive and extreme to despair of any dialogue between us, just because I consider your equation of any form of persecution as being as menacing to the commonweal in its potential effects, & as being ∴ of equivalent virulence as any other, to be counter·productively & hyperbolically extreme? If two people can't agree even to that extent without all dialogue being abandoned, I think it a somewhat dangerous situation. I do not think meaningful discussion is to be predicated upon such conditions.

We may also, so far as I can see, differ in our assessments as to the strengths of Keith's arguments, and his means of prosecuting them, without the imminent onset of Apocalypse Now.(Though overworked facetiousnesses about guardian-☤s, poodles, &c, tho perhaps originally faintly amusing, might not remain perpetually helpful in this particular.)
