I can see what you are saying. My response to Dizzy was too reactionary... My perception was that she already had a bias regarding this subject, and that what she heard and the way she presented it was not objective, and I also perceived her intent may have been malicious. Thus in that instant, I admit my perceptions may have been inaccurate, and my response contributed to the deterioration in rhetoric at that point. Good observation MP....

I understand your angst here. I am not trying to offer anecdotal evidence on it's own, as in a preacher who merely offers unsubstiantiated story upon story that supports his premise. And I understand someone wanting hard fact evidence. I can assure that this was a real instant, I can name names and places, but I will not if only for the protection of the sanctity of those involved. If that means my recount of the testimonies of those involved in this incident (which I heard directly from the people involved on a person to person basis, not from pulpit anecdotes) is disregarded as anecdotal, so be it.
