What then are we to make of those, Protestant and Catholic alike, who utilize these threads for nothing more than a platform and venue in which to insult, ridicule and inflame using the most profane and fallacious language and imagery. Those who reference refuted sources and who repeat any unsubstantiated rumor that paints their perceived antagonists in the worst light? Those who demand answers again and again and again yet refuse to accept or acknowledge them? Will you rebuke them equally regardless of religious affiliation or in the tradition of the Religion Forum adhere to the unchristian principle of "my enemies enemy is my friend"?

You will include yourself among those you criticize, right? I've been noticing that whenever Alamo-girl makes comments - and she sparingly does, BTW - almost immediately you answer back in, shall we say, less than a Christian manner. I noticed in the list of "fruits of the Spirit" vindictiveness is not included among them. I think we should all try to follow her example more often and leave the insults, ridicule, profanity, maliciousness and inflammatory language and comments off of this Religion Forum. We would all be better for it.

I am happy to see you included yourself in that reproach. Now, if only, you take it to heart.

Thank you so very much for your encouragements, dear sister in Christ!
