You didn't say anything like that until just now. Furthermore, if
you want to quote Bruce Maccabee, how about putting in all of it
instead of just the parts you can take out of context.  I am
willing to retract any factually incorrect statements I make, but
I stand by everything I have written in this thread.  I have
never suggested that anyone or any opinion 'should not be
tolerated on this list'.
