If you want the discussion to be ecumenical (no antagonism allowed) then you must add the tag “[Ecumenical]” to the title.

I understand. By "ecumenical," I am talking about dialogue, and genuine dialogue, it seems to me, requires some antagonism, otherwise we are just playing nice. So, I don't mind the antagonism, and think that is all well and good. My only objection is to those who respond in a knee-jerk way to the title of the article without reading what in fact the article has to say. In retrospect, I would have put another tag in the title, such as "Please read article before jumping to conclusions."

In any case, thanks for the clarificaiton. I think the thread has been, and continues to be very productive and enriching in many cases -- albeit with some juvenile back-and-forth, but that is par for the course.
