The idea that anyone could scare Herc away is absurd.

When did I criticize you for defending Herc? You're imagining things.

So you claim incontrovertible facts exist without proof?
Or incontrovertible facts exist with non mathematical proofs?

No, silly boy. You should say what you think the truth is,
and why. Note that my proposal doesn't have you
bending over to try to include everyone in the Great
Love Blanket of Diversity.

Look, if you'd just come out and admit that you're
14, or whatever your deal is, and listen to your
elders, then everyone would be saying what an
amazingly smart 14 year old you are. Instead,
by trying to take the place of a grownup, which
you decidedly do not have the life experience
for, you come off looking like a guy with a big
heart, some interest in math, and terrible taste
in people.

Sci.math does not require that you bring enough
gum for everyone.

Do you think that Walker likes (or possibly craves) all the attention
given to his attempts to include the loons?

You deleted a line without indication.
