By his remark, I would say he did. I also like how you take a petty
opportunity to turn needed rebuke into an issue of "toughness". ;)
 TH> People here have historically shown a similar lack of clarity Joe.
 RM> Todd, until you actually do read and consider anyone's arguments (and

Right back atcha!

I can only think you give yourself too much credit for how much of my

Actually, I had forgotten about your "relative" statements. Your haste to
take all this personally betrays your bias.

I wasn't even referring to you! My you do give yourself credit! Where is
all this nonsense coming from Richard? IS this how your athiest values

hich
didn't even refer to you in the first place? Please, you really make me

Well, if your statements are going to consist of the same kind of pure
emotional reactions that caused you to jump on my case twice already,
