Dear Readers-
I have appreciated the comments I have been receiving, and the debates that the newcomers who found me have engaged in, along with the new topics you have lead me to consider, and I think you for that. I do not apologize for or disclaim any of the beliefs I have put forth in the post of two days ago, and believe that they hold valid, even in our changing world.
What I do apologize for is letting these things get out of hand and the namecalling and baiting I engaged in as a result of some of the statements. The attitude that I displayed while replying to some of you, two comenters in particular with whom I was dismissive and rude, the result of which is my position was compromised, and much hope of these people understanding it.
I've been rude, sarcastic and abrasive and I've hurt the cause for which I stand in the process, and I am sorry for those things, and the way I made my piece clear.
I understand that many of you have your reasons for disagreement and that it IS up to myself and the others like me to have our beliefs heard and work to make these changes which we are striving towards. Understand that work is being done in this direction and my posts here, attempting to draw up support for these ideas, are one of the things I do. Therefore, I appreciate your arguments and counterpoints as I test the waters,so to speak, and I'd welcome further commentary and discussion in the future as you see fit to offer it.
I retract the name calling and the well poisoning , association fallacies and judgmental language of two days ago, and look forward to future debates and discussion here.
