That explains the chip on YOUR shoulder. That explains where YOU get
the gall to accuse _me_ of dragging personal accusations into the
discussion -- when you do the same, daring to accuse even your own
father.

If you had _half_ the logical ability you claim to have, if you had
_half_ the sense of Christian responsibility you pretend to have, you
would never have done such a thing. For it is so sternly forbidden by
Scripture. It is bad enough to speak ill of others; to speak ill of
your own father is really low. To do it in a public forum is even
worse.

I see. Not content with violating the command against speaking ill of
others, not content with violating that against speaking ill of your
own father, you now sink deeper into wickedness: you now advertise his
embarassment, that he was "kicked out of high school algebra".

But this is _exactly_ what is forbidden to us by Proverbs:

The tongue of the righteous knows good things;
but the mouth of the foolish announced evils (Prv 11:2LXX).

And don't try to plead that the LXX does not apply to you. For many
Hebrew commentators confirm that their interpretation was very good
on this verse.

> He can't.

Just as his son can't show the basic simple Christian sense to avoid
violating the command of Prov 11:2, and that against his own father.

You really don't know who he is? Now I envy you.

Worse than that, a "journalism major" who actually gets _paid_ to
spout his ignorant opinions and call it 'news'. Go to
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8058468/ see who your rival is;)

This is the kind of "big-talking", even arrogant braggadocio, that
leads me to believe you know NOTHING about the "
