[MD] Galileo and the church

[Horse]

Hi Platt

I would say that this conversation is a good example of why I try and 
keep 'political discussion' off the list. It degenerates into flaming 
very quickly.
As I see it, your comments seem designed to inflame and promote a 
particular agenda and not to discuss the underlying topic with regard to 
the MoQ. I may be misjudging but in light of various statements that you 
have made this is how I see it. Discussion in this way is neither 
helpful nor productive.
There have been discussions on the list which have been centred around 
MoQ and politics and have been relatively productive, but generally all 
it takes is one misplaced (deliberately or otherwise) comment and the 
whole flame-war merry-go-round fires up. And sadly Platt, it has often 
been you that is the instigator of these flame wars.
I don't mean to be mean or harsh in my judgement here but these 
discussions are not appropriate for MD.
