Stephen-

Here is the second person who has been on this list for a long time and
has stepped forward to say that he has not only not seen Glenn engage in
ad hominem attacks, but that Glenn's manner is "wholly exemplary". And
not a single person has stepped forward - including you, the one who
made the accusation - to say that he or she has ever seen Glenn engage
in such an attack. Perhaps it is time to retract the claim and apologize
to Glenn? What would Jesus do, Stephen?
