- I concede that I am not qualified to effectively counter "expert"
- testimony on the effects of word choice on rape victims. On the other
- hand, you can hardly expect me to take the word of hardly
- disinterested gay-rights activists on the grammatical (as opposed to
- political) correctness of the word "homosexual".
-
- More to the point, continually tying you in virtually identical
- rhetorical knots has started to become more an exercise for my fingers
- than my brain. I would probably be further entertained by a discussion
- of the differences in worldview between philosophers and engineers,
- but it seems to me that I've put you into such a contrary mode that
- you automatically disagree with any statement I make, and thus the
- chances for rational discussion are essentially nil.
-
- Instead, I thank you for an entertaining, if often entertainingly
- acrimonious, discussion. As the winner of the War of Patience, yours
- is the last word. Enjoy it.
-
- Good luck with your carpal tunnel syndrome.

- Cordially,
