Steve, you don't play by the rules of civil discussion. You're really good at the "cheap shot," but you're lacking in substance.
I have avoided making a statement about what my faith is and what it means to me, because I knew that would be making myself vulnerable to just the shit that you threw at me. Since I respect Frank and he asked what it is that I do believe, I took the risk of exposing myself to attack and told him in this statement: (click). It was about as honest and balanced a statement of what is important to me, as I could come up with. And, since you are apparently a man of negligible integrity, you took advantage of the risk I took. I spoke from the heart, but you didn't give a shit about that. Guess I don't have much to say to you then.

For those of you who don't know what Stim is referring to, and to prevent the spread of innuendo, let me tell you that Clinton Hammond, and Martin Gibson got "put on the bench" for a week for serious personal attacks on the physical handicaps of particular Mudcatters. They got miffed, and didn't come back...except to peek in every once in a while. Shambles got mad about being required to restrict himself to one thread at a time on his chosen subject, so he left...and came back, and then quietly disappeared. [Note added later: this paragraph was meant to dispel any hints of retribution that might have been perceived in Stim's message. -Joe-]
