With at least two James's and one other Jim who doesn't use James in his
emails, we may need to be a bit more specific in our use of 'Jim' in this
group.

Can I also say, probably to derision from many, that objectivity is somewhat
over-rated.  If the idea offends/appalls you, you can always excuse me on
the grounds that I am an anthropologist and not a real scientist.  If I do
meet someone who is truly objective, then I am quite willing to re-consider
my position.

Jim, 
 
The problem with the way that you approach us is that you assume we never 
Look at primary resources since we have posted you secondary sources; and if

We happen to be in a hurry and post you a book reference, you assume we have

Told you to "go away and read." I never said those words, and I'm not 
Pleased with your putting them in my mouth. It is not constructive for 
Discussion. Perhaps you might ask me to explain why I thought that book 
Might be a useful reference, in which case I would have expanded on it when 
I had time. You seem to have time in abuncance to post and argue. I have 
Snippets of time to post occasionally. Discussion can still happen, but you 
Must be patient. I recall you asking someone else to "calm down" yesterday. 
Try it out yourself. You might find that some of us are reasonable people 
And use our time doing research, reading both primary and secondary sources.
