Dear Joy and the rest of the Snow Leopard collective,
It occurs to me that you may only be following the "META: topical rules" thread and might miss my reply to your "you're picking on us because we're different" spiel because I changed the subject header.

Glad to have you on board.

I anxiously await reading your first post on the topic to which this
list is
devoted. Do you know the purpose of this list? I'm not asking for your
opinion,
by the way. I'm not asking you to do any expository writing here. There
is a
clearly defined statement of intent for this list to be found on the
Church of
the Virus website.

What a vacuous, pusillanimous, victim-stance! Give us break, Snow. You
get poked
(not be me) by people on this list for being DOGMATIC. You are certainly
not
"different" from the rest of the unconscious heard in that respect. Now
I'M
poking you for adopting the disingenuous evasive strategy of playing the
poor
oppressed martyrs.
The fact that there are multiple players behind the Snow Leopard icon
also
strikes me as cowardly. There are multiple places on the web (hotmail,
hotbot,
yahoo, etc) where you can get a free email account of your very own.
There is no
reason for you to play tag team under the Snow Leopard moniker. Come out
and
take a stand for yourself so we always know who's accountable for your
arguments
and assertions. Show us some of that famed Christian courage.

What does "fair" mean in this context?

Say whatever you want. If it's off topic but the Virians still respond,
well,
then they have only themselves to blame if they let you turn the Virus
list into
a forum for Christian apologetics.
Saying that you haven't gotten one response with enough guts to give a
fair
answer is a gutless way to insult somebody. If you're going to call
someone
gutless, then tell who you're targeting with your slander, Snow Leopard.
Vague
slander with no clearly identified recipient is in no way useful for
anything
other than propping up your own self-image as the besieged Christian.
If the responses to your questions have not answered to your interests,
then
clarify your questions and let us know specifically what would
constitute a
"fair" answer to the concerns you hope to express and get us to
consider. If you
don't do that then you have no grounds for claiming that you've been the
victim
of unfair tactics.
