one - i think you just did.

and two - how do you know anything about my particular religion?  or are you
just making assumptions about what religion i subscribe to?

>So the whole post was for them.  Not for you.

and three - dude - your freaking website is on the *public* web - it's in
your sig for pete's sake.  so don't go crying about how it's private and
only meant for your friends.  that's just plain bunk.

oh, and four - my posting format is just fine.  i do a bottom post/trim as
to leave the new mixed with the old relevant content at the top, but i do
lazily leave a the entire previous post at the bottom for reference.  BFD.

geesh - this is stupid.

I had no idea that anyone besides my friends ( most of whom were present for
the actual beating of said gay guy ) paid attention to my website.
So the whole post was for them.  Not for you. I didn't feel like going into
details about the whole event (and still don't). However, I have posted a
comment to the blog entry in question to clarify anyone who thinks I'm a
'gay basher'.

I could, like you did, redirect the attention away from myself, by making
snide comments about your particular religion and it's relationship with
homosexuals.  But I won't.

So back to the original comment:

Stop the hate, child...and trim your posts.  Please.  Pretty please.
The baby Jesus weeps at your inability to trim your posts, y'know.
