<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>He was careful to make sure he was referencing only “a lot of the
people,” which I take to be something along the lines of “a
significant minority.” I’m not sure this is entirely
accurate, given the strong language “bitch and gripe all day then
actually do something productive.” I think that the majority of those who
do contribute – if we factor out the frequency of contribution –
are very reasonable and helpful. However, I appreciate Matt’s
willingness to express his opinion on this while being careful not to paint
with a big broad brush, which is common within the Kirk (.e.g. “it is all
a slew of shit.” “they are all fools.” “Vision
2020 is Blind; it is Venum2020”). This is particularly important to
note given that some of the more snarky posts come from kirkers, those who
claim unique connection with God and moral/spiritual superiority. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
