I don't consider the repeating of questions to be the same as stalking, but the fact of the matter is that I'm not the only critic of postmodernism on this list, so I don't see why the questions have to be addressed to _me in particular_ (repeatedly, with _name-calling_, _months_ after the threads on the subject of science and postmodernism, etc. died), as if I were the first and only person on the planet who was to qeustion postmodernists' attempt to obviate the science/ideology distinction. I find this behavior bizarre. Extensive criticisms have been offered by various posters, drawing upon the primary and secondary texts on postmodernism. If they didn't satisfy Mr. Byfield then, nothing I may say now ever will, and in fact, he said as much repeatedly: e.g., "but you still haven't answered ANY of the questions. nor will you." So, it's pointless for him to continue.
