This is not a Christian community; this is a VFP community, open to people from many different religious persuasions AFAIK. Or are we to be dragged before the Inquisition for religious offenses against ghod and man when we are judged by Jess Banaga to have offended the system of beliefs he espouses?

My formal education has little or nothing to do with my choice of phrase. My annoyance at the coversion of FUD and fantasy into an argument for how the evil empire has betrayed the VFP community has everything to do with it. You're trying to dodge the bullet here on the basis that you perceive my turn of phrase to be offensive. I perceive your lack of competence, cognition and imagination as offensive. I'm at least as qualified to offer an opinion of your competence as you have to judge my linguistic and educational skills or the content of my morality.

If you feel a need to incite a flame-fest, this is not the place to do it; I'm more than willing to engage in a battle of wits with you, but find unarmed opponents to be uninteresting. If you want to open things up a bit, then name the place, and wear Nomex - I'd suggest someplace like the off-ramp. Otherwise, if you have nothing but ad-hominem argument to offer, EOT.
