I should have said '...just stirring the pot and playing' rather than
'just stirring the pot and playing with you' as I didn't mean to imply
you were specifically playing with him in particular. My mistake. My
intention was to emphasise that I thought Xah had it around the wrong
way and interpreted Don and Rainer as playing and you as serious when in
fact I thought your posts were humorous and theirs were serious. I
thought of your contribution as akin to that of the court jester and
didn't actualy consider your motives at all.

Your comments lead me to believe you didn't read what I wrote. thats
fair enough as it was long and it was directed to Xah. However, if you
had, you would have found that I'm not against Xah nor have I taken any
side. In fact, I think he has some valid points, but he expresses them
poorly and in a way that makes his points obscure and easily
misinterpreted. I don't agree with everything he states, but do see
there is some validity in part of what he is arguing, though his
examples and references are misleading and obscured by too much
emotional content.

Neither am I.

Funny. Luckily my hounds have not been disturbed by your dictating of my
emotions either.
