Ok - Steve - well I almost let it go - but the weaker side wouldn't -
My Apologies to all - I usually don't lose it but after driving a couple
hundred miles today to come back to this rubbish is unbelieveable.

So My last word - to Steve

Why should I? There was a case of possible libel in that my seminary
credentials were in question. Believe me, as a high school drop out at 15,
returning to University Education at 45 was tough - but Im proud of it and
no one is going to accuse me of getting it from a diploma mill

I don't think so - in fact I said - "We all need a quiet moment of
 reflection" - that is not wishing nasty things to happen to someones head -
unless of course you are into heavy metal ;-)

Firstly - a single email can hardly be described as a crusade. Secondly I
have the highest regard for Zeffies work - although recent rants only do the
community and himself injustice. Thirdly, I am taking no lessons on
Christian morality from someone who is self confessedly going to hell. (If
you aint going to heaven, then you are going to the other place)

Says who? Raving anarchists like you? A little discipline wouldnt go amiss.

> Fifth Seems like your ego needs the last word to me.

Not usually - But having never experienced a personal flame war before, like
a fool, I rushed in when angels fear to tread. Besides, even priests get
tired of being Mr Nice Guy.

I got expelled from the Labour Party in 1966. Even then we thought the
Militant Tendency were a bunch of pansies :-0

Steve - You can't beat people up and have them say - "I Love You"
