I never advocated "Automatic support and obedience, and the abandonment of political opposition..."

I went to great length to make clear that these have nothing at all to do with my positions. This sort of thing is why I simply do not respond much in here.

I made some exception to that practice in this thread - for purposes of explanation - to no avail, evidently.
