Well tempered scepticism

Paul, the more I read of your "well-tempered" thoughts, the more my admiration and conviction that you are the right man for elucidating music theory to the haplessly indoctrinated (especially here in Turkey) increases.

I'm as yet trying to bring myself together in order to respond to your last two posts to me. Please forgive the delay.

Cordially,
Ozan

Ny personal skepticism would be lucky if it got to be a huge danger
to our conservative culture. Meanwhile, I've stood up in the name of
defending free expression against accusations of "nonsense" or worse,
no matter what the ideological or philosophical bent, and angered
some of my best friends here in doing so, including very recently. So
excuse me if everything you're saying to me seems completely
backwards right now. I'd like to get a better understanding of what
it is you're saying so that I can attempt to take remedial action
right away -- if I can make things better toward the ends we both
value, I'd love to do so right away.
