Joe is definitely a very good, sincere, honourable man, one to be much respected. I try to respect likewise his views on faith, tho I do not always find it possible. But I should not like to think that anything I have said in disputing them was in any way intended other than in a spirit of honest debate; and certainly never intended as any sort of ad hominem attack, and should be very grieved to learn he had ever taken anything I have posted in such a way.
