666, coincidentally, also being the EXACT number of your unexpected post and question to me.
Actually, I lack the time to go back and search out and study the various comments you or anyone else posts to these threads in order to follow some unapparent linkage between them. My experience here has been that you either need to reference your earlier post, or to explain your reference in your current post in order to avoid misunderstandings.

Ah. There's part of the problem. "Polemically" means "hostile" (look it up), which led me to believe that you were accusing me of being hostile by simply asking ONE question. I still suspect you were, given the sarcasm and snark of your response, but your word choice based on some obscure thing Crowley wrote definitely contributed to the nature of my response. If I overreacted to yet another unjustified seeming accusation, I apologize.

Hardly. You failed to respond the vast bulk of my reply, so agreeing that this "made everything clear" would clearly be wrong. However it does clarify your obscure "P.S.", so there's that.

There you go again, accusing me of something I never desired or tried to do. It would be nice if you stopped attributing motives to me that simply aren't true.
