ah but now you appear to be deliberately misunderstanding as
well as deliberately misrepresenting what i actually said & did

my questioning what you believe & claim exists
& even my wondering out loud if anyone has seen any evidence
of it at any time in the past quarter of a century for starters
is not the same as assuming it no longer exists

nor the same as saying it doesnt exist

let alone as wanting it not to exist


you are not even close on any of the above


for this is not me mike
nor my reasoning
but only your specific self delusions about me & it


& such is the grandeur of your delusions that you are even
reckoning them common sense now

but i just dont share any of this sense with you in common

indeed my vote is of no consensus & no confidence in any of
what you are now saying about me
or about anything here below

& you only grow more delirious as you go

a map
& the representations on it
like all other data
are never thorough
but are always selective & necessarily partial

as well as dated

& often just plain wrong besides

& thinking they necessarily arent could be the mother of all
delusion
as of all your specific delusions here
