"However, I now feel that I have somehow contributed to the virtual destruction of the Church as a worthwhile vehicle by encouraging back to engagement someone who appears to be not quite well, and who apparently has the time and the inclination to engage in that destruction."
The blame is not yours alone. I fear I was responsible for pointing out to Joe some of the sources he has been barraging the list with ever since. As a contribution to debate and critically considered this sources were essentially harmless. When seized on and clutched with fervour and desperation more befitting holy writ they become essentially inimical to the interests of this list and to Joe individually.
I have many issues with Hermit's behaviour of late. I felt his behaviour in banning Jonathan from IRC was wrong, and that his rudeness to Casey was unfair. The comment regarding Joe's mother was in a similar vein. However, it cannot be forgotten that that was long after Hermit has been subjected to torrents of unmerited abuse from Joe; torrents of hysterical unhinged ranting that cannot tolerate dissent or refrain from obsessive compulsive gnawing of the same bone, long after all others were trying to avoid the entire subject. The tone of all this may most accurately be described as McCarthyite. In comparison to all of that, it seems impossible to reach any conclusion other than that Hermit was much more sinned against than sinning.
I now await my denunciation by Senator Dees as being an Un-American minion.
