XiXiDu, I’d like to point out how positively surprised I am at what I personally see as a sharp upturn in the general quality of your thoughts, comments, and posts since I’ve been paying attention to them. In some somewhat low-level part of my brain you’ve gone from “possibly well-intentioned person who unfortunately cannot make a coherent argument” (sorry!) to “person whose posts and ideas often make me pause and think”. That doesn’t sound like much but given human psychology it probably is.
