If I asked John to side-step my comments (just my original postings, not my comments to others or to him), that is to discipline his own contortions and twistings of my words as an act of charity and justice, he couldn't do it and he wouldn't do it.  "I see no reason to do so" would be his words.  

What this says is he has an egocentric idea of charity and justice.   That will fly past him, but let's evaluate this picture of his civility.   He is intolerant of diversity, calling me a "white man" today!

But he wants to pretend he cares and is full of charity, and ready to sacrifice for others.   It's easy to work from the armchair.
