Izzy, you are RIGHT ON TRACK. I agree with you 100%. Maybe you would consider being list moderator because I don't have time to keep up with all the posts and help keep the conversation civil. By the time I read the emails, there are so many that I can't carefully read them all, and it is too late to temper what is going on.
In any case, what you said below is exactly how I feel about this matter. I could not have said it as well as you just did. Perhaps all TruthTalk members will give heed to this wisdom from Izzy. Thank you. Peace be with you.

Glenn, It may be difficult for you to understand that I have not defended any of Marlin's beliefs as much as I have defended his right to express and discuss his beliefs without being shouted down and vilified. Your immediate judging of Marlin as an evil wolf in sheep's clothing has made Marlin understandably defensive and elusive, and has robbed the rest of us of the opportunity to lovingly and rationally get to know him. We might have actually had the opportunity to learn something about or from each other. You have slammed the door on the possibility. While I respect you and your need to express yourself, it seems that this atmosphere conflicts the purpose of TT. But maybe I'm the only one on TT who thinks this-am I crazy? Maybe I don't know what TT is all about. Izzy ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
