"better look to your own "gagging on gnats" syndrome."


That's a new one on me. Would you please explain? I can't appreciate the put-down without understanding it.

It refers to the book of Matthew, chapter 23, verse 24.

The "damsel in distress" you're riding to the rescue of has had only two arrows in her rhetorical quiver: gainsaying and name-calling.

By my lights, you objecting to my jibe at her amounts to "choking on a gnat, an swallowing a camel."
