A really long couple of posts coming your way … with no apologies… because there were quite a range of comments, challenges and questions after my last post by a range of folks and I’ve got time to answer.
At least you can’t accuse me of giving simplistic answers and certainly not of avoiding putting myself in the firing line. When I see some of the other exchanges I actually reckon I ‘deal with it’ pretty well, Heath …but who knows. My comment about ‘mockery beginning’ was more in anticipation than reaction and … with the exception of maybe a hint in one or two quarters … I actually don’t think the wide range of responses to my last lengthy post has been too bad. (Obviously there a couple of candidates who may yet post even at this late stage … one who is always ‘bullish’ regarding the ‘red rag’ of my faith .. and pretty much anything I post … and the other who is constantly disappointed/outraged that I don’t express faith like he does… so there’s time yet.)
If the point of a Forum like this is the full and free exchange of ideas, challenging the perspectives of others … and even ourselves, making others (and ourselves) think and then try to express those thoughts … ( all in a civil and respectful and honest context) then I reckon I’m making a solid contribution from time to time. I await the nomination for the end of year award!
