Stephen, you are correct that my apology was for having hurt you. And I am
sorry that I said privately what I should have said publically. I still
stand by what I said. You continually claim that the my assertion that
powerful thinkers left this list because of you is false. Your claim is
erroneous. I would cite Steve Clark, whom I do believe is a powerful
thinker (in spite of his protestations to the contrary). I miss his
contributions tremendously as I learned a lot from his corrections of my
positions. He is the only one to publically state what I had been told
privately by others. To demonstrate that your claim about the falsity of
the story is indeed erroneous, I quote from Steve Clark's post.
