I did not call anyone “attackers”. I did say that there were some attacks upon beliefs happening. There is a difference, as you have sanely pointed out.
You have addressed my observation in a pretty even-handed manner. Thanks for your intelligent responses. You have helped me make my point: That we who pretty much agree on what threatens our well-being, should stick together.
You are techinically correct, but now you're splitting hairs w/me. Believe me, if I said you were "attacking" someone or something, I'd be labeling you as an "attacker."
