Sir, 

First of all, I never rejected logic, did I? How could I? As you mention it is as necessary to our well-being as, well as sun-shine presumably (you do presume sir however about the color of my limbs). I was not refusing logic, but merely refusing to tackle, even platonically, the penguin-less Mr Popper whose permission I do not require to pursue my own interpretation of VN or anything else for that matter. Isn't philosophy, like mathematics, a young man's game?

p.s.  Please tell your bold, fresh spell-chucker that it is spelled Pasadenan.
