Suzy. Wow. And I am accused of being sensitive on this board! No need to bow out. I just suggested to you that there was more to it than you at first thought. In other words, extend the grace you have given to David to John as well.
Furthermore the archives of this list are located at http://www.mail-archive.com/truthtalk%40mail.innglory.org/index.html You do not need to take my side in this at all. You do need to be aware that there is more than one side. David (the owner of this list) often takes breaks - up to three or four months at a time. His not posting is not a result of any comments made on the board. David is a big boy and can easily take care of himself. And for the record I did not accuse you of being a devotee of the sainted David. Please read more carefully before you state such things. That discussion was with Lance and John, not me.

What I saw as a newcomer is people arguing not discussing. And why were they arguing because they would not listen to the other when he claimed that He did not have an attitude. They are arguing because the other is trying to have them explain their point so that they could understand. I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt because I did not take your side so to speak. If I have spoken in error I apologize. I, in no way, was out to be a "judge." I will bow out of this conversation since my newcomer input is not welcome. You may continue to agrue if you like. Let me just point out one thing before I leave this conversation. David has not posted since you accused him of being the sainted and that I was one of his devotees.
