Here is a solution. Have Bill read a Bible passage:
Luke 14:7-11
11For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’
7 When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honour, he told them a parable. 8‘When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet [or funeral], do not sit down at the place of honour, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; 9 and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, “Give this person your place”, and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. 10But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, “Friend, move up higher”; then you will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. 11For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’
Wow, look at the hate being spewed over at DUH:

I thought that these guys were supposed to be tolerant and compassionate, not bitter name-callers? And the terms they are using as insults? Hmmmm... let's just say that it demonstrates an utter lack of taste and zero conviction to their professed ideals.
