| It was the basis of the discussion as understood by Jewel, and thus the source of confusion, I suppose, as it slid around in other directions according to the inclinations, not necessarily coordinated or clearly signaled, of the several interlocutors. I would suppose that you can talk about whatever you like, but Jewel still thought you were arguing against Mojo's freedom of conscience. If he had been clear that you considered that settled, I suppose he might have said something like, "I am not interested in a multi- layered discussion, since Solon and Chris are still on my back". For myself, if I had realized that was where you thought you were taking things, I would have said that my interest was exhausted over the freedom of conscience question, but would have wished you well in finding someone else to speculate with........ |
