Sorry, I inadvertadly edited a bit here. It was something lambasting my pacifism, I believe. I did not mean to leave it out.

>"pacifism". I still call it hypocrisy.  No, I don't understand it.  And I doubt

After all, oh, about 400 lines, I am certain some of you are tiring of this.
I think the below statements say it all.

1. I am a pacifist.

2. Rich doesn't think I am because I made a flame at him.

3. I said I was sorry.

4. Rich didn't accept that.

5. Rich calls me a lot of names, and falsehoods(e.g. Falwell follower).

6. I don't think Black is worth the trouble of outlining and defeating him 
   point by point.

7. Rich does.

8. I don't think Rich is worth the trouble of outlining and debunking him
   point by point. (Note: Black<>Rich)

9. I do not think Rich will understand my point of view.

10. Rich says he doesn't understand.

11. My view is biblical.

12. Rich's view is secular.

13. We are polarized.

14. Dave Brown unilaterally agrees to disagree.

15. Rich????????


And, oh yes, the moral of this little tussle and fairy tale.

To me: 1. Don't make imflammatory comments at anyone; it is a crummy witness.
       2. Don't expect people to appreciate your right to think differently.

To Rich: 1. Not all Christians are Falwell following, nucleur disiring, commie
            bashing people.
         2. People have different opinions; condemn what is bad, but don't try
            to make everybody think your way.

To Christians: 1. When posting becomes more important than prayer, something
                  is mixed up.

Enuff' said,

			DAVE BROWN

P.S. I am expecting something from Rich on this; oh well!
