Maybe the best strategy is just to ignore attacks that are irrelevant.
Don't waste your time refuting objections when you have no reason to
believe that your refutations matter to the objector. The only problem
is that ignoring objections might appear like you have no refutations,
but this is a risk that one has to take.
For instance Brett recently posted a number of objections to my T-grid
including:
>Though I remember it was to be multidimensional (and that the corners folded
>in--perhaps in many numbers of ways...) the illustration seems to indicate
>that two people coming from different perspectives are opposed in some way.
This is so confused I don't even know where to start. So I choose not to reply
in the hopes that readers won't take Brett's word for it.
