On Feb 6th you posted as follows:

[WM replied] I don't know what Brouwer believed.
I know what he wrote: Cantor's 2nd number class does not exist. "
WM is inconsistent.

You miss the point as ever -- you are suggesting that
intuitionists were bullied into making a claim that Hilbert et al
did *not* accept, viz:

You are being absurd.
