I’m pretty sure you did, but ya know what? I don’t even think it’s worth researching, because I know you, and we all say things in the heat of battle that we don’t even realize. Where I draw the line is when there’s a pattern of personal attack from the same individual, a pattern you don’t show. The important thing is always consistency and equal treatment. As long as we live by our own rules and do so the majority of the time, that’s good.

And I’m sure I can say for all of us “regulars” here that we have the same love for you and the fearless, relentless defense you make for Christianity in general and women in particular. It’s not easy; and neither is it easy to always see where we are to be flexible and where we dare not be flexible. I see a great need in Christianity to go back to the foundations of the faith, and for training in methods of textual analysis.
