Look, Marty G. Price is the one who is "simply not mindful" of what I'm
saying, because I *never* said anything about smallpox. Really. Does
refusing to ignore (or even to submit to an argument derived from) a
misattribution constitute "misrepresenting the positions of others"?
I just can't figure out the logic behind this. Would you and Marty feel
better if I said, "Yup, I guess you got me on that stupid smallpox
statement I made." (No offense intended, Bryant.)
