This is not a question of forgiveness. I was not concerned with any
personal affront that Mr. Eisele had offered me. He has not come to me for
confession & absolution, pastoral counseling, or instruction. What he has
done is spray out a lot of one-liners which show no understanding of the
issues, disparage various participants on this list, and finally offer a
general insult to the list as a whole. He has contributed to a general
decline of the quality of discussion on this list over the past few weeks.
He promised to go away - twice. I think he should.
Shalom,
George
