Freeze, you sound defensive. Truthfully what you copied and pasted is out context and only makes so much sense...that's a problem when you copy and paste h
aphazardly. If you had taken care, or understood what you were posting, this would not be problem.
Fortunately, I happen to understand where it was going. I have no problem with "what was said." Discussing the philosphy of mathematics here is beyond the scope of this thread. It's not neessary to delve that deep.
I have no problem with God leading you to "said body of work" either. And no, some unkown poster in some random forum Muldoon hangs out in doesn't need the credit. This is not about someone being a little sensitive.
Your defensive posture has led me to believe that you may not even fully understand what you copied and pasted or the context from which it came; especially considering the haphazard way it was done.
You did not alter the font, you did not say you read it somewhere, by doing so you actually appear to go out of your way to make it look like you typed it.
Your further emphasis on giving a the author credit shows you do not understand. It's not about that author, it's about you simply revealing that those words were not yours.
And you don't understand that.
This thread has very likely seen my last post.
