I'm smart enough, I think, to understand indirect reference, even hyperbole,
and I surely concur that in many ways Christ Church is a threat to the
Gospel and to our community. But I had the same gut-clutch as Kerry when I
read "Doug Farris: Sad News," and as obnoxious as I find him to be, he does
not exist to be a target of mockery. Heirdoug is not that important to the
doctrines and operations of the Kirk, but he is important to a lot of people
who would be upset to hear of his demise.

For those that pay closer attention when reading and are familiar with the
literary device of indirect reference:
There is a warning in the post, unpopular with some, below. It is a warning
about a real threat that exists, but that threat does not come from or refer
to me in any way.
If you still do not understand the last sentence of the post at issue, here
are two hints:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Koresh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown
If you still don't get it, as I suspect Gary Crabtree and Kerry Becker never
will, I can repost Greg Dickison's chilling Christ Church dicta published in
Credenda Agenda under the urgings of which almost all the world's population
would be put to death.
