I haven't walked away at all! I've defended my statements many times,to
the growing irritation, no dbout, of many on this listm and I've invited
both mark and Jared to refute them. This Mark refuses to do, on the
specious grounds that this would"give them more currency" while Jared is
silent! But everyone on this list has already read what I have to say
about Jared several times over, so now added currency is not at issue.

it is not.

  slurs are falsehoods.  what I said was true.

 What is the error? Perhaps instead of bluster you will show where my
facts are wrong.
