Ernest Hua referred to "the Duane Gish I would love to mutilate with a .44 automag" I had already considered posting or mailing a note to Ernest Hua urging him to be a little less strident, but this goes way beyond even that level of invective. It's no use protesting that it was meant lightheartedly. To consider such a threat as a joke only shows how deeply ingrained the feeling is that generated it. I have a self-serving motive in wanting to distance myself from this sort thing, but I would also urge Ernest and anyone else who finds themselves harboring such frightful feelings to realize that the bonds that bind us are stronger than these airy doctrinal disputes.

[Lew Mammel] Although I oppose Gishes ideas just as Ernest does, I think the above remark is disgusting and uncalled-for even if it was intended to be a joke. -- Yosi Hoshen, Bell Laboratories Naperville, Illinois, (312)-979-7321, Mail: ihnp4!ihuxn!jho

Amen to this!
