If you believe that my comments are reasonable, there are two options open to you:
1. rebut them reasonably
2. incorporate the suggestions they made
The SRFI process, which obliges no author to actually respond to any suggestions or criticism, also leaves open option 3: ignore them. This is the option you have pretty well consistently taken regarding my comments and those of Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen and Peter McGoron.
(For this reason I cannot understand why Arthur believes that I was making some kind of personal attack by describing your behaviour as intransigent and incommunicative. Intransigent: ‘unwilling or refusing to change one's views or to agree about something’; incommunicative: ‘unwilling to talk or impart information’. This is quite simply a description of how comments on SRFI 261 have been treated.)
