There's nothing to say about this other than to point out that
Greggie once again makes thinly-veiled threats to report me to one or
more authorities because he dislikes my diction (but of course, what
he truly hates is my point of view and insistence on standing up to
him and the other math fascists).
Were he to report me to any of the powers that be he mentions, it
would not be his first effort to stifle my voice here. He has always
failed, as has his dear mentor, Wayne Bishop.
Of course, when Bishop falsely accuses anyone he chooses of "racism,"
Eddie and Greggie are profoundly silent.
So I guess "ad hominem" isn't a market I've been able to corner.
