Another bad experience

[fpb]

Why in God's name did I ever place my essay on JKR's religion on FA? Most of the responses I received have been appalling: those who did not insist that Christianity meant anything they wanted it to mean simply imagined that I was criticizing JKR for not holding it, on the supposition - which I explicitly denied dozens of times - that you cannot be a decent person without being Christian. God Almighty, the whole damned essay begins with me denying that Christian is a term of moral approval! Do these idiots even know how to read, or do they just play with letters like babies or monkeys?

I'm convinced the mods see that its you and send out their cronies because they're dumb like that.

It's the biggest reason I haven't bothered logging on since... hmm, at least January.

Some people just don't understand you( I don't always understand you, either!)and for some reason it makes them react negatively. I guess they assume that since you think differently than they do that you are wrong and bad. I am guilty of that sometimes too, which is why I appreciate having you on my flist, because sometimes it allows me to either view things in a different light, or sometimes to confirm my own opinions. At the very least, it allows me to see that people who have different views on some very important issues can still agree on some of the other important or not so important things in life. I hope these people don't completely lack that ability or that someone in their life life to help them do the same.

Its the same old thing, many people don't seem to be able to understand that you can disagree with someone and still respect and like them.

That being said, you do seem to enjoy poking the wasp nests with sticks.

Maybe the essay was for people (like me) who like your writing and admire the way you think.

Let the dogs bark; the caravan continues.
