Perhaps you could point to some specific examples of these shifted foci and emotively positive statements? I do not see them.

I was not referring only to this thread, but to several ongoing discussions. If you'd like clear examples, feel free to contact me via http://thomblake.com or http://thomblake.mp

As Eliezer has kindof pointed out, I'm weary enough from this discussion to be on the verge of irrationality, so I shall retire from it (if only because this forum is devoted to rationality!).
