I hope we can stop the discussion here. I'd like to remind people that
PRNCYB-L is for discussing concepts and principles of cybernetic philosophy
and not for discussing personal attitudes, affiliations or expression
styles. I hope that Onar en Don will from now on refrain from attacking
each other and move on to matters of more general interest. If there is
really such an incompatibility in their ways of expression, let them simply
ignore each other's posts, and let others react instead.
