Somewhat. However if the concern is the lurker, then the information allowed to stand while we are beat on, is not corrected.

The point is that it is a matter of self-discipline to write in a fashion to not be tagged a "personal attack"...not necessarily to write or not to write.

I like the way that Mad Dawg does it, with humor as well as info.

Definitely a class act. Would love to have 50% of his Internet people skills (I always seem to come off sarcastic when I try).

You may know when I was received as a lay Dominican two years ago, (two years to final promises!) I took the name Dominic Gabriel -- for lots of reasons. Gabriel - the mighty man of God, proclaims God's call to Mary and is maybe the first creature (in my imagination) to kneel to her in wonder at her vocation. And Mary's loving concern meant a lot to Dominic and means a lot to Dominicans.

But what I also love about Dominic is that he wept for sinners. "What will become of sinners?" he would ask God?

I am not so charitable. One or two of 'em, well I know what I'd LIKE to see happen to them.

Or I do up until I write that. And then I think how healed they would be if they were brought to the graces of the true Sacraments, and how their gifts of which some in the current context are a real thorn for us, would be wonderful in the context of the FULL Gospel.

So I try to remember than they cannot harm me and I try to remember Dominic's love for sinners AND I try to let that guide me.

And anybody who can't laugh REALLY NEEDS our love and prayers.

Is that a mo' better account?

You have NO idea how much your generous words mean to me.

So if I say, "Preach it, brother"...that would be triply appropriate!

And don't you think you need to get the mods to change your handle to "Mad Dawg, OP"?
