Hi folks,

I'm not even going to comment Struan's post, I'll just gives an example of
his rhetorics "skills" :

[HORSE]
>Additional to this is the particular way in which Struan phrases his
postings, >eg - "Every philosopher and physicist of note is surely aware
that any theory >will have at least some undefined terms...." in other
words, if they don't then >they aren't of note and in consequence are not
worth regarding. So if you don't >agree with Struan then you are wrong.

...becomes, seen from Struan's side :

[STRUAN]
>Horse makes three false accusations.
>
...
>2) Struan doesn't phrase his postings well.

No comment.

OTOH :

>3) Struan resorts to insulting and evasion when he loses an argument.
>

is soon followed by :

>That being the case I can't argue back in any reasonable way
>without stooping once again to Horse's level.

and later :

>That is the problem with the focus group and the website -
>Diana leaving and nobody competent taking over to give it direction.

I rest my case.
