I will answer your other points later (have a meeting soon - no time) in the meantime which of the photon/electron interactions (compton, inverse compton, rayleigh, raman, Thompson etc) do you say occurs when photons of light are absorbed and re-emitted as the pass through glass? ie what name do you give to this interaction which certainly takes place.
What happens to photons going through a dielectric medium such as glass is irrelevant to your "theory".
You claim that photons going through intergalactic plasma lose energy due to scattering events.
IG plasma (free electrons) and glass (electrons bound to nuclei) have little to do with each other, despite your obvious misconceptions.
The fact that you are trying to tie the two together, already shows that you do not understand the issue.

As usual you are just trying to divert the attention from the fact that have nothing to support your idea.
The burden of proof is yours.
Objection over ruled.
In your post you complain about the name I give to this interaction.
Using that name only shows that you do not understand neither Mossbauer nor the electron-photon scattering.

As I and other people explained to you many times, what happens in glass is photons interacting with electric dipoles (electrons bound to nuclei).
What happens in IG plasma is photons interacting with electric monopoles (electrons).
The fact that you still cannot understand difference only proves that you are not willing to learn and correct your mistakes.

You are the only one claiming that your "tired light" effect has something to do with light traveling in glass.
You are supposed to provide evidence to support, but you have never done so.
I simply pointed out that you are wrong.
Do you actually know the difference between a electric dipole and single charge?

I have not avoided the question. I have shown that your question is misguided and misleading, and simply an attempt to divert the attention.
You are the only one avoiding the issue, and the burden of proof is still yours: show us that electron-photon scattering in IG plasma is not Compton scattering, but your badly-named "double Mossbauer".
