Despite your obvious opinion to the contrary, you are
hardly in a position to "encourage", direct or advise me
in any way. This is simply a preposterous presumption
on your part.

The use of the world "delusional" is an ad hominem attack
that has been banned officially by the list manager, and I
would appeal to the list manager to restrain D. Murphy from
engaging in such ad hominem attacks in the future. He seems
to be under the impression that he has some special dispensation
that others do not have in this regard. I would appreciate it if
the list manager would politely disabuse him of this opinion.
I would merely point out the continual and near total ad hominem
nature of Dr. Murphy's comments about Hammond. He is far more interested
in offering ad hominem opinions, "counsel", "authoritative advice", and
"authoritative" pronouncements than he is in discussing factual
information. In fact, one can only conclude from this that this is
the main thrust and objective of Dr. Murphy. To assert that
Mr. Hammond's arguments are "delusional" is both ad hominem and an
unsupported assertion.
Why Dr. Murphy, a Lutheran and/or Episcopal minister should be
signing all of his posts "Shalom" is certainly another peculiar
mystery admitting I think, some prima facie question as to his veracity.
