This Bush thread has been going on for days and has accounted for about
half the messages in this group lately. Doncha think that's enough?
In each the the above examples, I posted one or two messages in an
existing off-topic discussion thread. I'm not saying that's a *good*
thing, but I hardly see how it compares to you and Doug saying pretty
much the same rants over and over and over and over and monopolizing the
group.

Monopolizing??? There still seem to be a healthy number of other subjects
listed here. Our conversation has no effect on those other subjects - not
that YOU are aware of.


As you can see, it is a personal issue. Notice who was targeted out of all
the people contributing to the thread. I went back and looked at what I
wrote. Most messages had no mention of religion, and those that did were
specifically targeting the religious-right which I see primarily as a
political movement. I can recall instances where Victoria has been the
target of anti-religious slurs but I didn't see Bob getting all hot - but
then she isn't a Christian. Bob had no problem with Sheila telling us that
teen pregnancy was lower "year ago" and that sex education leads to
increased sexual activity but completely ignoring any request to support the
assertions. Obviously we were suppose to just accept these things as fact
instead of asking for some proof. Paghat mentioned the association of the
KKK and Christianity but it was me who was accused of being
"anti-religious." Bob says that we posted the same thing over and over and
Sheila says we keep changing the subject. I'm accused of being dismissive,
but when Sheila tell us that she knows better just because of her unique
perspective, then that isn't dismissive. Go figure.
