Amos, we seem to be talking at cross purposes.

My only point, which you seem not to address, is that you cannot assess another's morality without understanding the framework in which they were operating.

I didn't think it needed addressing- because, in this at least, I agree with you 100%. I never meant to imply otherwise.

I also agree with what you call Nicole's point AS YOU STATE IT, but only that far. I cannot agree with some of the wilder assertions & tenuous conclusions she seems to derive from it.

Best, Greg
