I ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY AGREE. I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT IN THE PAST (RELATIVELY DISTANT) I HAVE TAKEN A SIMILAR STAND ON paUL's UTTERANCES (THEY MAY HAVE BEEN CALLED CONTRIBUTIONS AT THE TIME.) he AND hiS POSTS HAVE SINCE UNDERGONE A DECISIVE, PROGRESSIVE AND DRAMATIC DEGENERARION. he MAY ACTUALLY STILL HAVE AN ACTIVE AND COMPETENT INTELLECT BUT he HIDES IT SO SUCCESSFULLY BEHIND A BARRAGE OF INSULTS AND OTHER GARBAGE THAT I VERY SELDOM READ ANY OF THEM ANYMORE. CONTRARY POSTS HELP US IN OUR PERSPECTIVE AND IN AVOIDING THE STUPID SELF-CONGRADULATORY REINFOREMENT OF UNCHALLENGED POSITIVE OPINIONS THAT CAN LEAD US TO DISASTER. I SUSPECT THAT IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY, YOU WILL FIND SUCH TO A LARGE (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVE) EXTENTON THE inTEL THREAD WHERE CONTRARY OPINIONS SEEM TO BE TAKEN, NO MATTER HOW OBJECTIVELY OFFERED, WITH GREAT HOSTILITY.
