RE: [TruthTalk] On taking offence where none is given

[ShieldsFamily]

I’m just feeling badly because I asked DaveH a personal question to see how far mormon adherence to “the rules” actually goes (and from which I expected a Yes, No, or MYOB!), and have apparently inadvertently opened the gates of Hell.  The acrid fumes of sulphur are really smelling up the place and clouding all other issues.  If we can’t purify the air with forgiveness, can we at least stuff the lid back on those smoldering recriminations and get back to civility? And let us please keep in mind that Perry sits in the seat of authority here by volunteering for a dirty job that no one else wants; let’s submit to that authority or at least take it off-line.

Part of what I had to say in response was that 'fundamentalism' is to be found in every faith and ideaology. Anyone for cutting Dave Hansen's tongue out? No wait, we ought to be cutting his fingers off so that he might not 'spill more virtual ink' on TT. C'mon folks, get a life and move on. Bill, 'G', John and David Miller were engaged in a genuine conversation to which we were all privy. Now this? Yikes!! an epiphany...shall we burn him at the stake (Calvin did have the odd good idea)
