Dear Michael,

While I can’t claim to love you, I can offer you the same services I’ve been offering to students for 15 years now, which is that you’re welcome to join one of my critical reasoning classes classes, where claims such as those you make in this letter can be evaluated and discussed through the lens of reason. You’re of course free to make my assessment of the debacle public, and we can see to what extent others agree with your critique of it. In terms of the debate, as Gareth has said, we’d be entirely happy to debate under professional conditions. We’re “running away” from incompetence, not from debate.

And yes, I have encountered “true Christianity” before. To be honest, it looked quite different from your interactions with me and the AAS.

Regards,
Jacques
