You take offense too easily. As Carrol can tell you, when I insult you, you won't mistake it. (I think I called him a bucket of rancid pigshit. To be be fair, I thought he had called me a cop. Now that's unforgivable. Being a lawyer is bad enough ;)).
I don't remember exactly but what I think I did was extrapolate from a given theoretical position to a future practice allegedly necessitated by it -- which is what I think your (here's that Jamesian* word again) interlocutors are now doing. It was, I think, also one of the rationales used in the purges to prove various old bolsheviks were traitors: their theory had to lead to such and such a kind of action.
Theory and practice are, perhaps, wholly unified only in that last lonely instant which never comes.
