I very selectively read and marvel that FFL has taken on a level of civility it hadn't had when I read it in the past. OTOH, all this is glorious and when I talk about the hook up with the truck driver I didn't want so I didn't accept the invitation but was honored by it as a friendly gesture, when I remember being a randy young pup and debate with Rick about the right of children to experience what they desire (but Rick has some compelling arguments against that viewpoint). I will tell you that I make some people, including Rick, uncomfortable at times with my emails and speech. So I put a clamp on it or choose another forum. But the gutter is also made in the image and likeness of God and it is glorious, divine, infinite and glowing and it's as intimate to me as the feel my tongue has inside my mouth. And though you may not be aware of it, the sky above and the mud below is all me but it's also you and you and you. I don't feel that people should be made uncomfortable though I am ever uncomfortable on campus and there are people on rants, many of them are wearing Flash Gordon hats and wearing light color suits. If this person is disturbing you, then perhaps a time out is in order. But do understand the things of which you've here charged him with are part of the divine plan as well and God did not make us separate from Him, we made us out of the same stuff God is made of. And that includes the good, the bad, the ugly, the irritating, the gross.
