First of all I'd like to appologise for all the strife my original post
caused.
It was never my intention to have things go so far OTT that the list owner
sees the whole thing as a vote of no confidence and puts himself up for
re-election.
I did not take any offence at Jim's comments, because they made perfect
sense from his point of view. I disagre with a basic belief upon which his
view is built, just as he disagreed with mine.
I am very sorry that he took the, in my opinion correct, observation that he
was just as guilty of everything he accused me of, so badly.
Since I think God is more important than anything else, I feel it necessary
to ensure the way I spend my leisure time is not spent in a way that could
reflect badly on Him.
If one starts from the premise that there is no God then one naturally comes
to very different conclusions about what is important.
It would seem that Jim forgot that when he accused me of being biggoted in
my belief, he laid himself wide open to the charge of being equally biggoted
in his belief in the non-existance of God.
Karen's observation was of the nature that the pot and the kettle are
equally black.
I do not see how we get from that to Carl resigning. It certainy seems a
rather drastic response to me.
However, it might help if the title "Moderator" was changed to "List owner".
Sincere Regards,
Michael.
