I like many
other people are not comfortable in arguing and such an abstract level
and therefore you get misunderstood. It would have been better if you
had started the discussion at the level of abstractness you intended
because the shifts from particularity to generality is confusing me.
First, I appreciate your saying that I have raised people's awareness of
the issues. As to your suggestion: I can't criticize it, but I do not
think I know how to do that. I encourage you, if not now then sometime, to
try to re-start the discussion at what you think is a reasonable or
constructive level of abstractness. I don't mean to tell you what to do,
but from your comments it seems to me that you are interested in this
issue, and have something to say. Maybe where I went wrong, you can go right.
