And here I thought our beloved Moderator was cordially accommodating diverse views and ready to put this belabored topic to bed, once and for all.

Ok, Ok, it's starting to be a long read, but I'm hanging in there hoping against all hope, that our beloved Moderator (BM) will still come thru.

I knew it! Just too good to be true! If I respond, I'll be back in the shower, cleaning up last night's leftovers hitting me from all sides. If I walk away, I'll be tarred and feathered in absentia.
Wretched poster that I am! Who will deliver me from such doctrinal distress?
