Until then I'll just keep on developing the Ingrid software. Also, until then I
will temporize your position by offering only a list of elements or constructs
that I think are fit for inclusion in what's being discussed. That is the
objective challenge I offer and hopefully when a mathematical scenario of all
the seemingly contradictory sentiments is developed then maybe I could care more
about what influence it has on you. But for now, let it be. I will not debate
any point with you on this thread until a clearer picture of the whole range of
drawbacks and boundaries of PCP emerges. Hopefully, the resultant grid
would/should speak for itself. If it doesn't then I'd say it was successfully
sabotaged.
Now then I think you are afraid of developing a grid based discussion technology
exactly because of the range of paradox that would emerge. Thus, I see your use
of invective divide and conquer exclusionary tactics in this thread as just
another too obvious imposition on the ability of PCP to reach a form of honest
exchange. For example you do look pretty provocative in mustering the PCP
boundary police with your claims that this is MY grand conspiracy theory. It's
nothing of the sort. There are many many many such activities pointed to in the
literature.
Here's a couple of unspectacular looks at the subject if you don't know where to
look.

Ah, but will these links work for you or should they even be allowed to?
