This statement is so flawed that it can't be a mere grotesque error.

First off, I'm not an objectivist, I'm a subjectivist. I'm simply a
subjectivist who has progressed far enough beyond the absolute and total
naiveté that Middius preaches, to see some value in considering issues
relating to the reliability of human perceptions.

Secondly, the idea that the objectivists lack a meaningful viewpoint is
falsified by the years of effort that Middius has put into attacking it. Or
perhaps Middius wants us to believe that he truly is the reincarnation of
Don Quixote, and his zillions of diatribes against mainstream scientific
thought as applied to audio are simply jousts with slow-moving windmill
blades.

Notice that "George M. Middius" ran away from that quote where Atkinson
said he felt the debate with you was "necessary"?

What is new? It's a given that if you back Middius or Atkinson into a
corner, one of their dumbed-down buddies like Sackman, Scott, Weil, Rudy,
Borgma or whoever will chime in with some stupid retort.

This debate is turning out to be quite a debacle for "Middius". First,
his prediction and wager that you would never agree to appear for the
debate now makes him appear to be an ass. Next, his hero, "Lord
Atkinson" (a "Middius term, BTW) admits that he feels the debate is
necessary, not something Atkinson deigns to do so he can trifle with
you.

That this didn't happen yet is an indication that either they are all
sockpuppets animated by the same person who is indisposed, or that Atkinson
has pulled the prerequisite strings and is keeping them quiet to keep my
prediction from coming true this one time.

I think you're being way too kind. Middius is well beyond the simple
appearance of being an ass. His recent claim that I murdered my son might
have been contrived to give Atkinson to finally do the right thing after how
many years of standing idly by while Briggs/England and Middius attacked and
attacked and attacked and attacked. I suspect that Atkinson knows who
animates the Middius and Briggs/England sockpuppets, and has long had
private communications with them relating to their reprehensible activities
on RAO.

Frankly, I still don't get it but what the hey? I'm just a wild and crazy
guy (Do you remember how his caused Zelniker to go off, one of the last
times I used this common figure of speech?)
