I see that my timing was off, as my inability to hit the right button. I apologize to everybody on the listserv for this diatribe. Again, I tried to send it to Rick only. Again, I apologize. Neither Rick's remarks nor my response to Rick have any business on the listserv. But I take responsibility for losing my cool. I cannot promise that I will never lose my cool again, but I promise to learn how to hit the right button on these computers.
To Eugene, in particular, I owe an apology, and I hereby extend it. I really did try to do it right, but didn't. I don't handle attacks on my integrity well, and I need to avoid losing my cool, even though provoked mightily by Rick. -----Original Message----- From: Newsom Michael Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 1:01 PM To: Law & Religion issues for Law Academics Subject: RE: FYI An Interesting Case Rick, you are so full of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am a Christian, but I don't buy into your right wing [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I also suspect that my Catholicism is something that you can't handle.) No one on this listserv is more ideological or bigoted than you are. Anybody who disagrees with your right wing views is a bigot. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. You are a hateful bigot and a disgrace! -----Original Message----- From: Rick Duncan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 11:23 AM To: Law & Religion issues for Law Academics Subject: RE: FYI An Interesting Case --- Newsom Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, I didn't miss the point.

It sounds like your ideological beliefs prevent you from affirming the value of Christians who believe that homsexuality is a serious moral disorder. I call that Christophobia and religious bigotry.
