That was me, Jeremy, not Tom. Well, the problem is that this entire conversation I've been trying to narrow the discussion to exactly what you're trying to say, and I still don't understand you.
On the issue of the "Ground Zero" "mosque". Which of the people involved in building this are terrorists in your mind? Is it Feisal Abdul Rauf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feisal_Abdul_Rauf)? I'm curious who we should identify as terrorists. I will continue below: On 10/30/2010 01:03 AM, Linda Herd wrote: > Well Tom, > > I am almost irritated. You took that sentence out of context.

I can honestly say that I have never spent any time with the intent of making you look ignorant. I have taken issue with what I understood to be your statements by isolating those statements and asking questions about those statements. > I know that all three of you are very intelligent. I read what you say. > I know where you stand. I so hope you understand this email! I wish that I could be confident that you understand my position. I get very little feedback that responds directly to the things that I write, so I have very little to work with. Recently I wrote explicit points that I support, but I don't think that email was replied to by anyone. > Still your friend, > > Linda Herd > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Jeremy D.
