Since when is it > acceptable to ridicule a person's religious beliefs on stable@? When their religious beliefs start affecting my life, I'm not going to remain silent about it. You can call that "ridiculing" or "Christian-bashing" if you want, but as far as I'm concerned it's impossible to ridicule someone who is shaken by a _picture_ of _cartoon_(!) on their computer. I would have been happy to remain silent on this, but it led to Scott's commit that removed the beastie menu and that was going too far. In that sense, yes, it is indeed relevant for stable. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
