You and I aren't having the same conversation. You want to psychologize people's motivations, including my own, which is interesting to speculate about but off topic. I want to discuss the arguments made in the letter, the arguments that 25 Fields medalists actually signed on to.
I am capable of having a conversation with you on a great many topics. What you aren't capable of, apparently, is forcing me to want to have the one you want to have.
As far as calling names:
"Your comment is ... disingenuous."
"you are being disingenuously clueless or cluelessly disingenuous."
and now:
"I had imagined i was interacting with somebody who could understand the larger picture"
