I didn’t interpret your essay as “fuck off” – I actually thought you were trying to float ideas out there for consumption and dialogue and my responses have tried to take those ideas seriously even when I had reservations about the tone.

Whether you have an interest in “building” or not is besides the point here. Whether you like it or not, by continuing to discuss these things in public forums, we’ve both taken our own steps to build a build a dialogue (however antagonistically or not) and I’d like to think the conversation that exists actually has constructive elements to it.
