Blaine: Thanks for your usual, reasonable, logical, calm response, DaveH. Yes, you have stated many times that you are here to learn . I could hardly fail to notice, however, that you have repeatedly been forced to defend your own religio--and your personal self--for that matter, from aggressive/antagonistic remarks made by some TT'rs, as have I. You have also answered questions posed by others about your Mormon religion, as have I. And when the answers fall on bigoted ears, and attempts are afterwards made to belittle and discredit your and my answers, it does not make for a situation of mutual trust, respect or understanding. I too wonder why some of these people are here. I wonder why I am here. This is TT, or TruthTalk, supposedly, but I have yet to see many here who really are interested in truth--mostly it has been attempt after attempt to bloody our noses!! That is my perception, and it seems lately with DavidM's more objective influence on the wane, it has gotten worse. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 8:19 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Adams FALL UPWARD
