Just for Sandy…the worlds of the JFK assassination and "Monostatos" come together...

Guess which is the first US orchestra to perform in Cuba since the 
reestablishing of relations? Sandy's favorite:

Just another curious coincidence?  Of course Sandy, who lives in NYC, and 
has the dubious distinction of having the same name as the worst hurricane 
ever to hit NYC, tends to be just a teeny bit sensitive to any odd 
coincidences...

Unfortunately, it is McCroskey who has yet to grab a clue about what he seems to have gotten himself into.  One can only hope its not too late...

McCroskey continues to pound away at something he claims is of no interest to him. He creates gigantic strawmen -- a 'religion' and a 'musical messiah', and then tries to use them to attack a series of 'odd coincidences.'

If McCroskey sincerely has no interest, why does he not just move on?

McCroskey's world contains no art -- only 'jokes' or 'deadly seriousness'…plus a hidden agenda? :-0

McCroskey's world apparently contains no odd coincidences, no irony, nothing but deadly seriousness or 'joking'?

I presented clues to an alternative that include odd coincidences.  It is artistic.  As in, for example, an opera.  McCroskey tried to twist my words into into some sort of confabulated strawman.  For what purpose, he has yet to disclose.

But, since McCroskey finds no possible connection between the terms "Monostatos" and "Minnesota", perhaps he will have no objection to a 200M arts group being called the "Monostatos Orchestra"?

McCroskey unsuccessfully tries to distract readers from yet another series of odd coincidences…:-0

False.  Do you really think anyone believes McCroskey, who undoubtedly has so much else on his plate, would go out of his way for over two weeks for something that he sincerely believes *only* affects one person on the planet?

Surely McCroskey recalls when he decided to jump into the conversation? It happened during a discussion of libel, the moment a 200M arts organization was mentioned...

Here we go again -- McCroskey's response to a series of odd coincidences.

One might get the impression McCroskey has no concept of one readily available to him...

Dip and dive...

Incorrect.

Marsh was been in 'deny, deny' deny' mode about any possible connection between the term "Monostatos", used by Mozart for a wicked character in the 1791 opera The Magic Flute and "Minnesota" as in the "Minnesota Orchestra", while a storm socked the town where he lived on Mozart's birthday, hitting hardest a town with his name, "Marshfield"....

I guess that's also called irony....
