I suggest that those of you who have a strong feeling that I am
monopolizing thsi medium recognize the fact that if I get twenty responses
to an article of mine, all giving obscure variations of the same theme
(how dare you not listen to this author?  how dare you deny the existence
of free will?  how dare you not believe my subjective experience as being real?)
I am likely to respond to a number of them, sometimes saying the same thing
(especially when they are received eons apart), and even more especially
when they consist of ad hominem noisemaking.  Like...

Which makes me wonder why all the free will junkies suddenly came out of the
closet so loudly and all at once in hopes of doing a "this will show that
Rich Rosen that free will exists" number.
