Typical. I did not engage him.  Max engaged me by posting a lampoon on
my post which had not been addressed to him.
As some one quoted Chomsky: In American, facts matter little.
I had thought that since the last encounter with the incident of
ridiculing my name, he would keep his direct off-list promise to me to
keep his distance.
But not keeping his word to unworthy people is standard procedure for
him, apparently.
Perhap this time I would be lucky and earn his benign neglect.
