Ren,

That does not invalidate the point. This so called attack, has only
been made so by the over reaction of the edges of the community.
Giving a response to this is not really going to acheive a thing.
Indeed the "boy who cried wolf" comes to mind. Are we going to become
the community of angst filled emo kids (oops too late) who are going
to get up set at every little thing? If you wish to get upset at this,
I charge you to get up set at avery attack on Christians by Neopagans/
Pagans.
