I'm behind on my mail a little but wanted to respond to these
posts. My words are not directed at the topic so much as at
the sentiments.
It was said- "I don't think it really matters if the story is
true or not.... "
I think we need to always make truth our bench mark for what we
do in reserved moderation, our boys will carry to an extreme.
Be careful when you say half truths to cause a boy to react a
certain way...you are lying.
