As I said in response to you over in the other thread, I didn't see the subtle insults. Then again I'm not a member of your church so maybe it's just ignorance on my part. I have been known to mistake you all for the Amish so I guess it wouldn't be the first time.

Well we who organically understand the faith caught his attempts at subtle deception. However, because he's not a good writer, nor unbiased, those outside the faith may not have caught on to his swipes. For that I can be grateful.
