Apropos to the subject of this thread, there is a well-known legend that at the Council of Nicea, St. Nicholas was so infuriated by Arius' blasphemy that he slugged the heretic on the spot.
Lesser known is what St. Nicholas is alleged to have said to the heretic before he landed the blow: Ever zealous to defend the true doctrine of homoousion against Arius' errant iota, the saint shouted, "Why, iota knock your block off!" ;)

"...the saint shouted, "Why, iota knock your block off!" ;) Well...at least he didn't threaten to bust a kappa in his butt!

Something about what you wrote...
Now I cannot get the Three Stooges out of my head. I suppose that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I wish some of our Orthodox Freepers could shed some light on these developments in an effort to understand just what the heck is going down.
