Does anyone else besides me wonder whether this is a subtle, dual-purpose reference to one particular example of a blogger on this site who exhibits frequent fits of 'Blog Rage'-- NIGHT TRAIN? “Thick skin is skin imperviousness to the arrows that come by Night…”

Yesterday I had copied the article to my word processor in order to analyze it in greater detail. It was written by an AP writer by the name of Kasey Jones and I don't remember if it was credited to any specific newspaper. Today I cannot find the exact article anywhere but on the internet edition of the British <a HREF="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-7280252,00.html" rel="nofollow">Guardian</A>. All the American versions have been modified and are now signed by a different author (Alex Dominguez) and the Boy Scout references greatly reduced. My conclusion: someone at the AP also thought that Jones had overdone the Scouting references and they have done some backtracking and erasing. I believe this confirms my original point: even the supposed professionals can, for personal reasons, indulge in their own version of "blog rage." SteveG (#12),

I prefer to understand differing opinions rather than quash them. Being rude and dismissive is hardly in the spirit of academia. I like to read what everone writes…even if I don’t agree.

Every time we act in a machine-like way toward another man we deny the central teaching of the Word of God — that there is a personal God who has created man in his own image. This is not the God described by those on this site. Every man is my neighbor and is to be treated in a proper human, man-to-man relationship.

This is threatening to hard-edged secular nonbelievers who regard serious Christians as an anathema. You have a marvelous way of expressing your views while being aware of realities but not being in any way soured by opposing views, however piercing their slings and arrows to you personally. This was the way of Christ who was supremely the Son of God on earth while well aware, humble and forgiving of the forces against Him. While we can't hold a candle to the way of Christ, we can try to imitate Him. Actually, Andree you do well at venturing your inner thoughts about the passing scene, mainly from a Christian viewpoint.

That is really an awful newspaper.
