Let me summarize it for you. W8JI and W7EL apparently think
that the RMS current value of zero at the bottom of the coil
Vs the RMS current value of one amp at the top of the coil
means energy is being sucked into the coil from some external
source.

I don't read their responses that way. I read their responses as
saying that the current leaving or entering an end of an inductor
includes a capacitive component and an inductive component. The
capacitive current branches out of the coil to the surrounding space,
and is what allows a measured difference in the currents passing
through its two ends. The path through the wire to the other end is
not the only path for current.

You read what I wrote and what Roy wrote correctly John.

Cecil changes what other people write to suit his own needs. He changes
what other people say, and then points out why the creatively edited
text he invented is wrong. That's his debating style. Watch out for it!

Absolutely true. Cecil complains that people won't engage in a technical
discussion with him. Many have tried, and all we get in response is
evasion, misquotes, diversion, and brushing off of any evidence contrary
to his preconceived notions.

Anyone who wants to know what I said or what I think should read what
I've posted. If it's not clear, ask. But don't trust Cecil to tell you.
