Your personal attacks grow tiresome. After your last smug and arrogant diatribe I tried to be the better man and just ignore it. I suppose I can blame Cynthetiq for this response, because I read his posts and if it were not for his reply, yours would have gone unnoticed. I find your posts cumbersome and often skipped, not due to vocabulary, depth, or their brilliant arguments, but due to the lack of capitalization and run on sentences. Regardless, while you attempt to obfuscate the meat of any issue with excessive script, I like to get to the point. Nothing is gained by a long build up if it bores your audience.

So while you may lament that your mighty prose is ignored while mine generates such interest, perhaps you can take a lesson and just get to the point.

Now it is quite true I did not provide the 'whole story'. My guess is, had I convinced the judge to break his required silence, or even perhaps snuck into the courthouse and stolen the sealed documents to give you the 'whole' story, I would have far more pressing issues to deal with currently than some petty prose.

I simply stated that we have only one side of the case at hand and later that if the parents claims are in fact true then the judge will indeed be overturned for an unjust ruling. I am not one to jump to conclusions based on one side of the story. I would hope that more people acted in a similar manner.

I do hope you forgive me for delving into a more pertinent issue, which includes and goes beyond the case at hand. What makes a religion protected under the constitution is a very tricky subject, and one worthy of a debate on the boards.

I hope the moderators forgive me for this post, but I can only leave such condescension unanswered for so long.
