I think that James is going out and cutting and pasting things he found in
books or elsewhere on the net. I dont even understand half of the crap he
writes, nor do I even attempt to. If someone is obviously trying to
antagonize, their arguments are just malevolent bullcrap.
It is possible to criticize mathematics, and reasonable to do so. But all of
his criticisms just suck, and the only benefit one can glean is as an
exercise in proofreading the mistakes of others, but all he really wants to
do is waste your time. He has no intention of reciprocating the favour of
your hard work by acknowledging and understanding your rebuttals. He is an
"intellectual bully", and he'd make a fine fascist.
He is an inspiration to open minds everywhere. He inspires the open mind by
demonstrating how the closed mind really works.
