This is what's frustrating. No one has called anyone an idiot! Yet you
have attached that as a subtext to what someone's said.

You did the same thing when you asked if I was calling you an
"unbeliever", thus implying I think you're a bad person, going to
hell, who knows what else is in your head. Stop it!

There are a lot of wrong things out there. But in the interest of
politeness, I'm asking you to keep your opinion of people's arrogance
to yourself.

I'm asking you to stop.

*I* dare because I host this stupid list on my dollar. How dare *you*
disrespect me, your host, in this manner?

Another good reason to shut down the list as far as I'm concerned. God
forgive me.
