Henry,
I don't think it's fair to describe a different point of view as "patronising". That would end all serious discussion about anything.
I had to explain my point of view. Indeed I was asked to enlarge upon it.
It is a sincere point of view. Others think differently. That's fine.
Actually I did raise exactly the same points to Mr Gurga. There were several threads. I don't know which you have saved but it is apparently not one of those in which I clearly voiced my present opinion. I didn't persist because it was his discipline and I was merely an interested participant. I sincerely respect his dedication and intimate knowledge of Japanese Haiku.
