<DIV>It’s deleted. Some tripe about my “provocations”. It started

Perhaps that's so but then it applies to all those others with whom I happen
<BR>> to agree with. You do seem to be at war with a number of people
here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you call finding fault with someone’s interpretations “being at war” I
guess I must be continually at war. I don’t take the view that you seem to
want to promote that any interpretation is as good as any other. Certain
interpretations seem to hang largely on ignoring what Wolfe wrote, developing
elaborate hypotheses based on questionable “clues”, and justifying it by greatly
exaggerating the obscurity of Wolfe’s writing.</DIV>

like.<BR><BR>> I am pretty sure there is no amount of re-readings which would
cause me to simplify<BR>> my understanding down to one level and/or force my
interpretations to be into <BR>> congruence with your own, which is
what you seem to be aiming for. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How about forcing them into congruence with the text?</DIV>
