I shall not be responding to Bryan's posts. I have explained to him privately that I find it impossible to debate with him because he interprets my words in ways that I never intended, and then does the same to my clarifications, and to my further explanations, until communication becomes impossible.

I will assure him, however, that I have not been addressing any of my very general comments to him personally.

I see no malaise, only some general confusions and misunderstandings, that might benefit from more open and honest debate, and the sharing of ideas an experiences.
