I might be more comfortable simply inviting Chris Lofting into a
meta-discussion, a discussion about the discussion, where in we will broach
the question of the terms of further discourse, and to identify our
procedural disagreements.
If Chris Lofting refuses to respond or participate in any discourse on
points of order, then I would feel justified in making an ultimatum as
applicable to future exchanges with me. And I invite comment.on the
following first draft of definition my own terms and expectations for
discourse:
1) Clarifications upon request.
2) An effort at writing well and clearly. Not just a burden upon the reader!
3) A direct and combative sportsmanlike approach, where argument is met
either by counter argument, or even some concession when if the burden of
the counter argument cannot be met. In short, just open honesty, continuity
and coherence.
