Mirriam-Webster ^

[xsmommy]

you know, i am sorry i brought up the situation at UD because this conversation has devolved into something ridiculous and insulting. i think we are all very aware of the 10 commandments and their applicability to our lives and our code of conduct. we differ in how we JUDGE Dr. Lazarus handling of the situation.

[tioga]

You are not listening to me. I base the decisions I make on those guidelines and the Bible. I would imagine the leader of a Catholic institution should do more than an ordinary Catholic in defense of the faith. You and xs are approaching this from the perspective of secular law, I am approaching this from my faith. Which should the leader of a Catholic institution put first? We won't agree on an answer. Won't happen, the best we can do is understand the other's position.

And xs, don't apologize for bringing up a topic with which we can honestly debate. We don't have to have a winner, the intellectual exercise should be good for us.

On some things we will have to agree to disagree. I respect both your positions, mine is just different.
