My untimely go at McCarthy was (in retrospect) a “fuck you” to his disciples, and that brought out the “ugly side” and “fundamental errors” responses. So on. That’s a lot of "fuck you”s. :-)

Err... please stop invoking my name outside that thread. Whether
intentional or not, you're trolling, trying to passive-aggressively
get licks in like calling people his "disciples" who you (whoops!)
said "fuck you" to. Perhaps you made professional errors in front of a
crowd, but who cares; no need to compound them by making more. (It may
surprise you to know, but I was actually editing my posts to help you
maintain face, once I realized you take these disagreements as
existential attacks. Because I'd rather you not face such crises.)

This thread here is full of interpersonal attacks. I am uncomfortable
posting in it. Please leave me out of it.

Thank you,
