Let me remind you one more time...it is you folks who attacked my friends...I am simply defending them.
If you think it's ok to slander good people, (and then have the nerve to say that I am wrong to point it out) you have a warped sense of what is decent and right.
I think defending one's friends is perfectly honorable. I have an issue with judging another's righteousness. Maybe it was simply a poor choice of words but it doesn't sit well.
