> There is only one mathematics, and it includes both non-constructive and constructive mathematics. You don't need to like both branches, in the same way that you don't need to like every branch of mathematics (and I am sure you don't). If you don't like one of them - and I have in mind Thorsten and Kevin, please keep quiet and do your own thing, instead of insisting that what you do is the ultimately good and correct and mainstream and accepted and blessed kind of mathematics. :-)

I agree and I don’t think I ever was selling constructive math as the ultimate good but I suggested that there should be some awareness of constructive issues among Mathematicians.
