No problem. Of course I can now never ever tell what I found so funny in your response. It wasn't nearly as deep as your intention, but pretty damn funny in my perception -- but then I always assume everyone is joking -- else all this shit is to be taken seriously! Oh well, I've been caught off base plenty of times before now. Thanks for the thanks nonetheless and you're welcome.

Judy clears this up totally, and I humbly proffer to all abused a blanket apology for transgressions occurring during my mistakenness. I had made the mistake of trying to interpret Mike Chase's comment completely out of context. The discussion is in fact much more clear-cut than I first understood it to be (my bad), and that is in no small part due to the clarity, in particular, of Mike's arguments and Phil's characterizations ("M. Chase's moral equivalency argument").

I thought I understood Mike (Chase) easily; I read it as
(I mangle)

"If my "moral equivalency argument" were troubling enough (to Enns and
Yost) to awaken them (E and Y) from..."

the clue's in the prior

PE(EY?)> What is troubling is M. Chase's moral equivalency argument that
regularly rears its ugly head.

nothing Frenchified about the reply

MC>I'm delighted that it's troubling. If it were troubling enough to
awaken P. Enns and E. Yoist from the dogmatic slumber of their jingoist
self-satisfaction, I'd be even happier.

hope that helps
