Ok, so I am reneging on my promise to be done with this discussion, since, against my better judgement, I followed a link out of the CB out of curiosity. And I find that you are now putting words into my mouth that are the exact opposite of what I've explicitly said ("Just as my accusers believe they are making a value judgements on behalf of all monks."), willfully misrepresenting other things I've said ("By their standards, even just telling someone they are wrong--even if they are--is a 'personal attack'.") and even accusing me of sock-puppetry. Ok, while typing this I realised that it's possible you were referring to the other T. you've been exchanging views with recently, and you oh-so-cleverly hide behind plurals instead of talking about individuals, but at this point I think I'll take a page out of your book and blindly attribute all this to malice directed at my person. Which leaves me only one thing to say:

You, sir, are a lying, hypocritical cunt.

Now I'm done.
