But 'we' let them continue to spew their nonsense here ...

A word of wisdom. The problem with these allowing these guys to continue to do what they do is that it takes more energy to come up with something intelligent to say about a topic and almost no effort to club these morons over the head. The conversations get lost because watching someone get clubbed over the head is easier than participating in a good conversation too!

They end up controlling the agenda in the very manner we Christians do in the late third century - they willingly allow themselves to become martyrs for an imaginary cause

Incidentally, the division marked in our fragment is also found in the Ammonian Sections.
What I learn from this is that after ten years of slumming in this stuff you still don't know how to cite material properly. For another person to look up the material they need an exact reference. You may as well not present the stuff if no-one can check it without having to search for it because you still don't understand that you are responsible for being explicit.
Leucius Charinus wrote:This "division" I take it is a space in the text. However Ammonius who supposedly authored the "Ammonian Sections" lived in the 3rd century. Isn't this cutting the chronology a bit fine?

We have a fragment, a very small part of a single story. See Jay's comment.
