Either way I was setting the record straight. Sal and a group of other Catholics, as well as myself, were pinged to this thread. We did not seek it out and we did not come looking to start trouble.

And for the record I did watch the entire video noted the mistakes and chose not to participate in a discussion that I was pretty certain would turn ugly.

It turns out I was correct.

Bully for you.

I rarely agree with you, but on this I do agree in respect to pinging people who are unlikely to appreciate the invitation. In the context of our shared experiences here together, the many past threads, so much water under the bridge, it is predictable that for the opposition party such an invitation would be unwanted, and so it would be judicious to let people make up their own minds about participation.

However, having said that, I believe many folks here are not being their normal selves, and do not have it worked out yet what the new “anti-bashing” rule really means in practice. Without unambiguous evidence to the contrary, I would presume innocence of motive by all parties. It will lower folk’s blood pressure, hopefully discourage an unhealthy hypersensitivity, and contribute greatly to the common good.

Peace,
