Yeah. The trouble is that others see Todd's posts as attacking the central
tenets. It is all so subjective. Personally I think questioning central
tenets is VERY useful but it does lead to some disorder at times. A tough
situation.

As long as everyone plays by the same rules. Sometimes it seems like the
Audettes will have the priviledge of "anything they type is golden" and
Todd gets steamrollered. :(

I don't like it. And I feel that it is unneeded baggage--something folks
might outgrow. Certainly I aspire to. Todd was an inspiration in this
regard.

Your post was very useful, Robert. Thanks.
