Gee, I thought that that was a joke. If you can't laugh at reality, your concepts are altogether too serious to be doing a good job of modelling it, Rich. At least Kend Ardnt laughed at *some* of Brian... Laura Creighton utzoo!laura

I knew > I could count on you. (P.S. And my response WASN'T a joke??? Says something > about your own "literalism"... Oh, and where *was* that response of yours?) My response to WHAT? Christian bigotry articles I never read? Well, I haven't said anything about this Mr. Black (I assume that's who you're referring to), but I will now: I have nothing to say. Reason: If I condemn it, I condemn something I didn't read. I know how you'll responsd to that by your treatment of Dave Brown. If I don't condemn it, you won't like that either. Well, I'm not going to say anything at all, pro or con. Actually, I will say something. I gather Black thinks the holocaust didn't happen. I think that he is incorrect. As for dredging up month-old articles, that's because I didn't read this group for a while, so I started at the beginning of what I didn't read. So what? I admit I thought your response was serious. My apologies. I thought so because it sounded exactly like what you write when you're serious. Oh, well.
