Religion & Law

I have made it clear what I was saying in my Christmas Eve post, and it was not what you imagine me to have been saying:  "equivalent to racists".  You seem, after several posts, invested in your mistaken "equivalent to racists" construal of my post.  But there is no tension between the wording of the post--which is there for all to see--and what I have said I was saying in the post.

Now, consider your tone:  you open your most recent post by referring to--indeed, by sneering at--my "game" and my "tactic".  This is consistent with your intemperate accusations yesterday not merely that I am wrong on the merits, but, worse, much worse, that I am insincere, hypocritical, keeping up "the pretence", and engaged in "smearing" others.  (Have I missed anything?)  Your tone and your insults speak for themselves.  This to-and-fro between you and me has gotten not only tired but, in a word, ugly.  I worry that if it continues I might eventually respond in kind--which I would regret.  It's past time, I think, to take a deep breath, and move on.
