Don't Ask....Don't Tell. Good Policy?

[notofworks]

Earlier in this thread, as several of us were bantering about our opinions and blowing smoke with limited knowledge, I appealed for a person who actually knows what they're talking about on the subject, to join in.

I received an PM from Azzan and after a few PM's he/she decided to join in. But predictably, the conversation went a little south, although it took longer than I thought and I've seen it get much worse in the past. To those who conducted a civil conversation with Azzan and were welcoming, thank you!

I just received this PM from him/her and with permission, I'm posting it. I, for one, welcome his/her insights on not only this subject but others as well. He/she is well-spoken, articulate, and well-informed.

But there's a chance he/she will not continue. So here is the PM for your thoughts, consideration, and comments.




"The idiotic questions don't bother me as long as it doesn't degrade into a mess. I have a good idea where Prax is going and I am fine with it. I think my answers to his line of thought may surprise him.

BTW, I am finding it HIGHLY amusing that everyone thinks I am a man.

I find it interesting that others bring up the 'ick' factor when I am doing my level best to be as 'kosher' as possible.

I find it hard to believe that the admin post was 'less than a warning'. For what's it worth, I know all about the rules of this forum. I've been hanging around here for over a year. I was doing my level best to not advocate anything but rather provide insight and be a source of information.

I gues I am not surprised at this reaction. And Christians wonder why gays get all militant and openly dispise God, church and everything that goes with it. Or why we stay in the closet?

Feel free to post this private PM to the thread. I don't expect it change anyone's mind but perhaps it will stimulate more conversaion."
