The quotation above concerns people who like to decide how sinful other people are. As I recall, it refers to a passage in the Bible where a woman was about to be stoned to death by the fine, upstanding gentlemen of her community. Can I assume that you are criticizing the gentleman who recently expressed the desire to bash my skull in? As you might recollect, that was part of his effective retort. As far as considering people I have never met to be a disgrace to the human race, I have personally never met Hitler, Stalin, or Amin. Even so, I consider them a disgrace, based on my knowledge of their actions and their avowed philosophy. Do you consider Reagan immature and despicable for what he calls the leaders of the USSR, even though he has never met them? > So, I will simply state that I am deeply offended by the tone > of your message and hope that in the future you will take the time to > think about what you say before inflicting such ad hominim garbage on > the net. Do you really consider it garbage to point out that someone who advocates the deliberate starvation of millions of people is displaying the moral sensibilities of Attila the Hun? Nice to know you've got your priorities straight. It's OK to advocate starving all those people, but let's not get insulting about it! Phil Polli {ihnp4!}ihuxl!pvp
