Well, as a matter of fact, I just sent a posting that replies to the first
part of his "article," so when you see it, perhaps you would care to reply.
As for the rest of Turkel's article, I will reply to his other points, when
he agrees to engage in the open-forum debate. Otherwise, I see no need to
reply to his "points," because he will just put another article on his web
page that selectively quotes what he wants his readers to see from my
responses but ignores the rest.
There is a second possibility. Post your promise that if I reply to
Turkel's article point-by-point, your will serve as his stand-in and reply
to me point by point with an effort that is comparable to what I put into my
rebuttals. If you will make that commitment, I'll start replying to
Turkel's other "points" as soon as I have delivered the next copy of TSR to
the printer, which will take about another week. However, if you think that
I am going to put the time and effort into a thorough reply to Turkel that
you will just ignore, then you're mistaken.
By the way, did I ever send you my 28-part reply to Turkel on the Jehu
massacre? If not, I will be glad to send all 28 parts to you along with a
two-part analysis of his sources, which shows that he misrepresented the
sources he quoted. These postings will show you how easy it is to rip
Turkel to pieces.
