Due to incredibly negative and/or minute response, the notion of playing a "REVERSO" game for the month of April appears to be moot. There were a few real problems that people brought up about the concept of the game, but I can't help but think that those who refused to play on various types of grounds (esp. "I couldn't vilify god in that way") are actually promoting the belief that those who adhere to religion are intransigent and unwilling to truly question their own beliefs, or even (in this case) to step back and see their beliefs from a different perspective. I'm not saying that it's necessarily true, it just seems very blatant to me. We did get off to a bad start, with one person believing that there were questionable motives behind the game, so maybe another time... It's probably just as well for me anyway, since April looks like it's going to be a rough month. [To Jeff Sargent: I have collected various articles and things that you have written since the last time I "took up" such a collection and responded to the net. Another collective response is forthcoming.] -- "So, it was all a dream!" --Mr. Pither "No, dear, this is the dream; you're still in the cell." --his mother Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
