Looks like something we can agree on.

The above is simply an example of you attempting to make a point by
carrying it to an extreme.  None of those topics, or any other, get
near the coverage on V2020 that Christ Church does.  Too make an
analogy: V2020 is like a household water spigot for most topics.  It
is a fire hose for Christ Church topics.  I’d simply like to see the
fire hose turned down.

I have never expressed any desire to do so.

Again going to extremes to make your point, I see.  I’ll play along and
answer you.  While I may not like it, I do not find the NSA ad threatening.
I view it as advertising hyperbole.  Like you just did, they went to an
extreme to make a point.  On the other hand, if an individual honestly made
such a threat to me I would make different assumptions about it.  It would
be treated seriously.



Glad you are feeling better.
