That is merely your absurd *extension* of my argument, not my argument.

For the record, you are the one calling Michael continuing to monopolise 
leadership "conspiracy theories", not me. Just a few hours ago, you wrote that 
you were looking forward to just that: "I look forward to him again being able 
to act as a leader without obstruction from them" (your exact words).

I wouldn't publicly call myself party to a conspiracy, but whatever rocks your 
boat, I guess. Then again, you are not alien to circumvolunted logical 
arguments, so maybe you just meant to validate that the "theory"! This is 
confusing.

I made no statements to either of those effects. I am afraid that I do not have 
an answer to your absurd 20-typos hypothetical.
