My reference was to the apparent position of Operation Rescue as described in the article.

I don’t know your position on the issue, and I don’t know you personally. My comments were strictly about individuals who might hold a particular position.

I used “you” in the comment in the somewhat grammatically incorrect but very common usage of “one.” As in, “if you believe” being equivalent to “if one believes.”

On threads like these, such a vague attribution leads to misunderstandings and quickly to flame wars, especially when there are the occasional agenda driven posters working these threads. Thanx for the clarification.
