I don't appreciate the implication that I'm not a person. Xenophanes posted the link to this discussion to a public email list where (you may find this shocking), some people agree with him and are interested in this kind of discussion.

He also mentioned that HN is blocking him from posting more, so maybe you can blame Paul Graham for you not getting the answers you wanted. But there's still hope.

Want answers? Want a discussion on a forum that without censorship? Want a discussion where you won't be punished if you say "What You Can't Say"[0], as xenophanes dared do today? I think he, myself, and others would be happy to answer your questions at:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/fallible-ideas/info

If you don't come, and instead stick to a forum where hardly anyone continues a discussion for more than 12 hours, then I for one will figure you aren't really that interested, and I won't be motivated to write answers for you.

Does the person behind Xenophanes consider each of their online identities to be a "person"? Nice dodge with that choice of word. It's easier to claim that a fake online identity is a person than it is to claim that a fake online identity is a human.

I smell astroturf.

Justin and Alan are not me.

Glad to hear it.

Since you are apparently not, as JustinCEO claimed, hellbanned, I'll remind you that I'm still waiting on those citations. You demanded them from everyone else, it's only fair that you should provide your own.

i was blocked from posting for around 3 hours, which is why i didn't answer most of my critics. email me [email protected] if you want to discuss it further.
