I don't think Dan Andersson was rude, and I was (quite frankly) very unpleasant
in what I said.  However, I believe that what I said was correct and continue to
believe it.  Of course, an opinion cannot be proved.  My reasoning is not
flawed, however.  I have stated my opinions, which I believe to be correct.  My
opinions are unpleasant and unpopular.  Because they deal with emotions, they
are (for the most basic and obvious of reasons) totally unprovable.  I have
never said that they were provable.  Be that as it may, those who disagree will
be equally unable to prove my opinions incorrect.  How can anyone prove a
*motivation*?  It simply cannot be done.  I look at the circumstances and the
actions and infer from that.  My inferences are unpleasant and unprovable.  And
yet I think they were correct and continue to be so.
