I withdraw my earlier statement.  Please leave me out of any

Do you mean that your earlier statement was incorrect (i.e., that

never said anything without taking a position on whether they're
compatible, or do you refuse to say?

I am specifically _not_ saying either that my earlier statement

that henceforth people will act as though the statement never
entered the discussion.  Does that clarify the matter for you?

 That answers precisely what I was asking, thank you.
 As often happens, I am mystified by your decision, but it is
unquestionably yours.
 I'll try not to include you in any further discussion, but I do
not promise to try very hard.
 

Don't worry, I'm not planning to start or participate in a
lengthy discussion on your statement (that never turns out well).
I'm inviting you to clarify if you choose to do so.  [...]

I wonder if I could withdraw all MY statements in this thread, and be treated with an equal amount of civility?
No, I thought not.
