Robin,
As the original poster, I have to say that I went too far, and I apologize for the negative personal comments. I shouldn't have personally insulted you. It did nothing to help and it was uncalled for.
Your response was very eloquent, but I notice that nowhere in it do you agree that your comments were offensive or offer any kind of regret or apology that you wrote them. In fact, you are very adept at side-stepping the issue. Parts of your response remind me of the old "some of my best friends are Chrsitians" argument.
It's your right to continue to believe that Christians are narrow-minded, humorless people. I just wish that the part of your message about "as long as [...]you don't personally insult other readers" applied to you as well, because whether it was directed at me personally or not, it was directed at me.
And, just for the record, even if I was a registered user, hiding behind a nickname is not much different than being an anonymous user. I personally refuse to give out my real email address to every web site that requests it. And interestingly enough, I've never had a problem with spam.
Happy Halloween to you to! And a happy All Saints Day tomorrow!<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
