To be honest, I interpreted your responses of not only defending Kinsey; but of defending the actions he took.

Just lending some insight to how you came across to more than one person.

My apologies. That was never my intent whatsoever. I think that because of our conservative philosophies constantly coming under attack, most FReepers are guilty of assuming someone is disagreeing with them before actually giving them the benefit of the doubt. I am guilty of that as well and recognize that fact. Additionally, while FR is a GREAT service, it's too bad we can't hear tone of voice or see body language when questions are asked. That sometimes makes a big difference.

I apologize for phrasing things in such a way that misrepresented what my intent was.

I sure didn't take it that way and I'm sure that most reasonable people didn't either. Its never wrong to try to get the full story rather than just going off half cocked.

If a person does something wrong, then accuse them only of those things and don't make things up to make it sound more sensational. Bluegrass asked reasonable questions: there is a big difference between studying an activity and endorsing it. Bluegrass was only trying to figure out if Kinsley actually participated in the acts. By Jeremiah's logic, Christian researchers that study abortion are guilty of endorsing abortion simply because they researched the subject.
