Well!
Where do I start? I appreciate the desire of Tim and others not to
clutter up the list with messages to Mr.Pope, but I refuse to hold my
tongue when confronted by such ignorance and bigotry.
Who is this Mr.Pope that he should legislate the morality of the
list? Does he not realise that to the sane-minded of us out here, his
irrational prudery, prurience and prejudice are as offensive as
homosexuality seems to be to him?
I do not think there is any room on this list for someone who so self-
righteously proclaims a good number of this list's members to be "plainly
wrong". While we are all entitled to form our own opinions, any more such
expressions of Mr.Pope's should not, I very strongly feel, have any place
on the Medieval-Religion list. Should his views be countenanced by
publication in this forum, then I should have to reconsider remaining a
member.
