That I don't read free will debates, and that I have rightly come to understand
certain philosophic conversations as being pointless, does not mean that I
criticize in the dark. You've never been able to understand that point. (That's
like the Carnap point you still don't get).
Regards and thanks.

I think this was aimed at you, Sean:
"Another part of the problem seems to be that an
intense (and out-of-balance) focus on criticism has overwhelmed
curiosity and the quest to understand, in many cases. (I find that
some philosophers have a very strong tendency to begin criticizing
something before they've even listened to it, before they've asked
questions, and before they've even remotely started to understand it.
The pattern is striking, and some philosophers seem to be among the
least curious folks I talk to.)"
