Hi Bruce,

After seeing over and over how Stafford cannot maintain any defense of his ideas when confronted, but relies on dogma whenever in trouble (or simply ad hominem attacks), it's come to my attention that Stafford is just looking for other things in life other than being right. With all of his writings you see a yearning to be recognized as a great insightful presence in our time period, and I think as he has reached his retirement years that this 'need' has finally come to a crucial point in his life.

Something probably happened early in his life which has caused him to blot out just about whatever anyone could tell him otherwise. Heck, he can't (or won't even bother to) understand Paul who dedicated a full two years to understand what he wants to communicate to him. Dick is just that kind of person. At this point in life, there won't be any way he'll change.

I just feel sorry for those who can't see through all of this. Maybe they are humoring him?
