Subject: RE: BS: Serious Ethical Question
Mr. Spaw - you have a very short memory. I refer to the thread you inflicted on me knowing I would be mortified. You didn't talk to me before that because you knew I would say "Don't you dare!" It's a good thing I love you.

This is one of those times when everyone is right and everyone is hurt. Praise believes she is being criticised for praying for Karen. Others think she should not have taken public information and made it more public even with the best of intentions. Plus there appears to be a real concern about "converting the 'Cat".

There also appears, to me at least, to be a sensitive underlying "Christian vs. whatever" theme. Be very careful. You are on dangerous ground. The issue Micca legitimitely brought up was the copying and use of quotes from the threads without express permission from the the author. It was triggered by Praise's use of Kat's quote for a prayer group BUT prayer/religion is not the issue. I am afraid that, in an attempt to defuse the "spat", people's beliefs are unintentionally being trivialized. And if I am wrong, tell me to shut up and go away. I'll leave the thread but not the Cafe.
