Michael,

Can you spell 'pompous arrogance'?

The most basic rule of this Forum is of respect for others - it seems to me that includes not passing judgment on others and, most especially, on their soul.

djs is a respected member of this Community and that status ('respected') accords to him and everyone here not because of who they are, but because they are here.

The nature of the internet is that it is essentially an anonymous venue; each of us is basically a faceless entity behind a nick that may or may not have any relationship to who we are in the real world. Some choose to use their given names, others initials, yet others pseudonyms that maybe convey some descriptive attributes of who they are in their public, everyday life. [/b]
Michael Sullivan,

I agree with Neil. You owe djs an apology. The first rule of this Forum is charity and you have violated that rule.

Dear Administrator,

I'm never upset with you, Sir! smile

Even when you're upset with me! wink

God bless, and keep going after those pro-abortion politicians and all their supporters!

Bishop Olmsted of the Roman Diocese of Phoenix has issued a formal statement in response to recent press coverage:

Reads a bit different than how the press reported it.
