>  Sorry if this response was inappropriate.  I thought you might ask what
misnagged means.  In the Jewish tradition it means, roughly, one who is
so devoted to rational thinking that he has little patience with myth
(like the Tree, or the Lotus Sutra)little patience with paradox
(Nagarjuna,Zen,Derrida, Magliola)... And you are one of the sharpest

more obfuscatory ad hominems.
