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?

Sir, have you never met anyone whom you both admired and with whom you disagreed? Then someone like me should be a new experience for you.

This idea of yours-- that all men who disagree with you are fools-- makes you too bitter to accept a compliment gracefully. That is not useful to you.

It is also a burden to me. Your outward shows of contempt makes it more difficult and time consuming than it otherwise would be to remain on good terms with you.

It never seems to occur to you to apologize when you offend a friend. You seem to think we like to be on the butt end of your scorn.
