    ARGGGGG! :-(

    I said his 3 categories, not category 3. Do you stay up nights learning to
    misquote or misinterpret?

    And the ICR do not "lead" those in my church. That is what I am trying to avoid.

    I too shall learn to be careful and only refer to as liars, specific individuals
    not organizations. How do suggest that I express my disdain for ICR as an
    organization now that you have become a diplomat?

    How would characterize Morris (who tells lies about physical laws?); a well
    meaning dummy?
