I believe I may just be able to survive regardless of what motive you impute to me for my statements on this topic

I haven't imputed any particular motives to you on this particular topic, Ron. I just know from long experience that allowing myself to get into long drawn out debates with you is extremely unproductive, and a big waste of my time. So I'm not going to do it.

But if you are trying to suggest that I have in any way attempted to excuse the behavior of the extremists who have made the death threats, please show me where I have done it.
