Nell, I try to give all of my brothers and sisters the benefit of the doubt all of the time, even when I'm clear that they are way off. People say and do some pretty wacky things in the name of Jesus and I know they usually mean well in it, even when the results are frankly harmful. I can definitely understand if some people's patience has become exhausted in a certain case, but I thought I was pretty clear in what I said in objecting to his statement as I (and apparently others) understood it. I'm sorry if you thought that objection wasn't worded strongly enough for some reason. Your objection to my objection is noted.
