Hi Emily,
Yes, I was initially going to describe it as more akin to machine-gunning but
thought that was too strong.
But thanks for the welcome. I don't know how long I'll stick around but when
you use words like "robust" and "healthy debates" it sounds a little more
tempting. After all, I am one of those people who at 55 years of age has come
to be very suspicious of being in the same room with more than three people
with the same religious or spiritual perspective. Now that can be scary. Too
much certainty about anything leads to nothing but trouble.
Hope to be hearing from you again.
