THIS is what I've objected to:
"I am personally aware of this type of behavior among some black preachers."
This shouldn't have been said. He brought race into a discussion and IT DIDN'T BELONG HERE!!!

You have every right to object to it. I only brought my personal knowledge into it. Eddie Long happens to be a black brother. I have knowledge of this happening among my circles of influence. I shared my knowledge. You can object all you want, and you can claim insinuation etc. all you want, but I neither retract anything I stated, wasn't wrong in anything I stated, and don't feel anything I stated was out of line. I can't be anymore clear in what I repeatedly stated w/o guile or ill intent. I'll let my reputation speak for itself.
Secondly, YOU'RE to one who highlighted the race issue over and over and over by blowing a gasket when it, IMO, was unwarranted. You get the award for making it a race issue when the discussion would probably have simply gone on about the topic of this thread as it was intended. Well done!
I think you're having a hard time seeing around that "beam." But that's just my opinion and I could be dead wrong and I accept that.
