"I don't believe it was part of the original essay, and Bob should be able to confirm that."
Tom MacWood:
Of course you don't believe it because if you did you might then have to admit you missed it when you did your so-called "counter-point" essay or essay with an essay or whatever it's called. And if you have to admit that then one might think perhaps you are not the expert researcher you've always claimed to be.
And of course Bob Crosby could confirm if that footnote describing that Behr's "sport/game" distinction idea came before the Crane debate was part of the original essay since he wrote the essay "Joshua Crane."
However, I have a "WORD" document draft of the original essay that was done a number of months before the essay was put in this website's "In My Opinon" section that has the footnote in it, so if the footnote was not in the original essay put on here that would have to mean Crosby originally put it in his essay, then removed it, and then put it back in again.
Somehow I doubt he did that. The more logical explanation would probably be you just missed it or ignored it because you did not want to see it or acknowledge it so you could claim he was wrong about something else historically.
It seems your credibility on here is sinking and considering most of what you put on this website opinion-wise that is probably as it should be.
