I prefer the open and unconstrained pursuit of knowledge of ancient Grecian times or our own age that is finally once again free from oppressive dogmatism and stifling conservatism. We can say here and now whatever pleases our minds and have no fear of being tortured or censured for our thoughts. Let us follow them wherever they may lead, turning here and there as necessary to follow always after that elusive and beautiful creature, Truth.

And that I'm afraid makes you a poseur. Enough grandstanding. You know nothing, Jon Snow.


Dear W,
You may not like my way of expressing myself nor agree with my position but you need not attack me for that. Let's keep our discussion civil and kind. Thank you.

No offense intended but I think I see the nicety you yourself use to characterize the other person's thinking with whom you disagree. Let me try again. I should have said:


I will note that you have only responded to the part of my post to which you took offense. I guess you don't want to defend your rush to judgment. You would like to characterize your willingness to adopt a position on the arcane question of prior causes as making an effort and praiseworthy. And that my friend makes you a poseur.
