It's my turn to correct you, then, since it's me we're talking about! I was suggesting and disregarding nothing of the sort. I thought you had given up supposing? I said:

...meaning may you can attract some people who will give you what you want now. Like, maybe people who will listen to your serious questions and your serious objections to IM/LoA and I guess either support your opinions or give you some sort of rational, verifiable, scientific evidence to the contrary or express their own serious questions and objections? Or whatever it is you want.
Oh, wait, I just see this newer post of yours:

Maybe
that's what you're up to? Changing minds? You did declare from the very start that you're here to wake people up.
It's funny that you hear condescension in what I say, John Freestone. Because condescension is what I hear when you say things like that and, "well, that sounds rather cute" and "I think you're a fool" and "most people under 12, you mean?" and "Grand purpose. Now that's funny!" and "I read your celebration of how you've attracted pleasant surprises into your day and wonder what you're like on a bad day." and " I sense a dreadful desperation behind some of your commitments to make yourselves happy." (so many! I just went back and picked a few of your greatest hits.)
But I know that I was not intending to be condescending, so maybe you weren't either.
