Hi Phil,

I'll wait until the referees have reported on our Einstein/Quantum 
Mechanics debate.  I'm sure they will have found that both sides have made 
some errors in this discussion.

But I have to say that last your last effort to smear Heisenberg by 
implying moral relativism from the uncertainty principle is just as absurd 
and insulting as conservative Christians drawing the same moral conclusions 
about Einsteinian relativity and Whiteheadian process philosophy.

You have performed a vicious ad hominem attack.  There are any number of 
Germans from the Nazi period that we could completely condemn and eliminate 
from history if we used your methods consistently.  I did my dissertation 
on Martin Heidegger, who, I later came to know, did despicable things as 
Nazi rector of the University of Freiburg, and, who until his death, 
refused to come clean about his Nazi past, but it is simply a fallacy to 
then say that everything he wrote philosophically is wrong because of that.

By the way, the first name is Nick (not Mick) and as a realist I'm very 
much concerned about my existence (not existance). My posts have a few 
typos even after proof reading, but posting without proofing is sloppy and 
shows disrespect for your dialogue partners.

Nick
