Effective, no, since ARB is read by one percent the number who have access to SRB. : : My personal impression of SRB is that it is in the hands of cadre : loyalists who can be adequately defended on the technical letter of the : law, Not Bill H. in the case of throwing away a post and never writing to the author, nor in the case of refusing an explanation when one was requested. but who really do as much as they can get away with to discourage : those of us who make cogent arguments they don't like. Sounds absolutely true. The cogency of my argument was just too much for him, in light of his earlier denial that any such passage as the one I was discussing could possibly exist. : : That would : cause me discomfort if an organization I belong to did that. : If you're comfortable with SRB, support it. Just don't cross : them. Which doesn't even mean confronting them, or being unpleasant, or attacking the Faith. All it means is politely, cogently, and informatively raising an issue they don't want raised. Homepage |
