No matter what anyone thinks of Tony Pay's style it is my opinion that he
has provided the most stimulating posts on this list and I for one regret
that he will not be contributing in the future.
It is a shame that more attention has been paid to the style than to the
content of these posts - a certain level of passion, irritation and high
blood-pressure is to be expected when attempting to challenge our own
preconceptions of the world.
Charles Ives castigated his critics by saying that their " ears have been
emasculated by disuse". Perhaps there is an intellectual parallel here?
