I’m sorry…I’m really not ignoring you.
Well, actually I am, but I don’t mean to be rude and it’s only temporary.
I will be on vacation for the next few days. If you happen to post a comment to my blog in the meantime and don’t see it appear, please be patient. The website admin is officially off duty until next Tuesday, so your comments may not be approved beforehand.
The timing of this vacation is a little unfortunate, given the recent flurry of activity in the comments from last month’s post, my open letter to Jerry Coyne. There have been some interesting comments, particularly one by Dr. Leblanc, that merit further consideration in respectful discourse.
Alas, the grandchildren have been promised a quick trip to Florida that was planned well in advance. Grandpa must not disappoint.
Perhaps in the interim, Dr. Coyne will find the time to grade his compatibilism quiz that I took yesterday.
Some very interesting conversation may be about to happen, possibly as soon as next week. If Dr. Coyne chooses not to participate, Dr. Leblanc seems a more than capable substitute, and he is willing to engage in serious dialog.
Stay tuned! I don’t think you’ll want to miss it.
I look forward to reading your response Mr. Leonard. And, time permitting, would hope that I may participate in the conversation as well. Dr. Leblanc can, and has, acquitted himself excellently and my own schedule is quite busy with international travel, medical board exams, and conference presentations all in the next week, but I hope to at least follow along.
Kudos to you for being willing to engage in the conversation and please have a wonderful holiday!
