He is not my enemy. What makes you think that I need not come to his
defence? I can do what I want. I would like to discuss the contents of the
messages, not the merits of the messenger ad infinitum. You have posted a
series, in the manner of ongoing litany, what you hate about certain people.
If you are not interested in mystical theology, then why heap scorn on those
that do appreciate speculative theology, and practice care of the soul? 

I asked you to rationally and intelligently provide a discussion regarding
your notion of Truth. Where is it? Ariosto is busy providing an intertextual
discussion about the subject. Why not participate in the discussion on a
rational level, as opposed to passionate opinions about Ariosto. Make some
sense. Please engage in the discussion rather than in hyperbole. Who cares
about your opinion anyway if it is ultimately based on dislike? I want to
know what you think about the topic of truth, rather than your feelings
about Ariosto.

self be untrue to others." [Shakespeare]
