That would sadden me. I can certainly understand why anyone would take a break from discussions of metaphysics - but I would hope that disagreements of philosophy would not result in fractured political communities.

Not so very long ago, people remarked on this blog that philosophical disagreements would be used (and have been used) to drive in wedges between natural allies. It would be a sad irony if we were to drive in such wedges ourselves.

In other words, please consider this an apology for any insinuations of 'quackery' or somesuch in your practice.

Thanks, Jake!

And I do admit I am currently extra touchy - unfortunately I have been confronted over the last weeks, lets say with the shadow side of conventional medicine, and have been able to see some of the good stuff from the woo woo side. :-)
