[Mark in the Old South]

BlackElk does not wish to be pinged. Please all make a note of it. It would appear he feels free to post comments on a thread but feels even more free to dictate to others on if they can respond.

Please note I have not included him in the list of addresses. I do not wish to violate FR manners but only to please, even when faced with such a glaring double standard.

Please forgive me if I wonder where such a myopic world view was developed. Could we be seeing evidence of an "only child", over indulgent parents, maybe it is his part of the country, perhaps college taught him to behave thus? *sigh* I don't suppose we will ever know, rarely do such people see it thus.

See #170. Disregard prior ceasefire which was rendered ineffective by the usual poor manners of SSPX types. That was my only offer of ceasefire. Don't bother sending any my way. I reject them in advance.

Say's Law works on the Internet too. If bad money drives good money out of circulation, bad manners drive good manners off the web.

Oh, and my "myopic" view (that refuses to imagine Marcel's nasty little band of schismatics, excommunicates and sheep as the actual Roman Catholic Church) was developed in a Jesuit prep school so long ago that hey were still Catholic. Did you go to a schismatic prep? There must be a reason why you cannot distinguish between the pope and a few uppity and taste-offended excommunicated bishops.

As the streetwise in New Yawk might say, you do appear to be a real Mark at least if not a real Catholic.
