- You proposed a great many things, Reverend. I trust my memory a
- great deal more than I trust your word, for obvious reasons. (My
- memory sometimes fails, but you always lie.) You backpedaled
- a great deal during that thread.
-
- I do recall that the only people whom you would accept as
- moderators were people who share your belief that there is
- no right to abortion. I wonder why you thought that many
- other people would want to participate in a newsgroup with
- censors from only one side of the issue.
