It doesn't surprise me either, because honestly, your post
was way out in looney-land.

Ahhhhh, so you came to the conclusion that Jimmie's sig
represented an official stance by the HTML Writers Guild on
the Divinity of Jesus of Nazareth?

Or is it your fear that, if Jimmie were elected, the Governing
Board would quickly pass an official motion declaring Jesus
to be the Son of God, according to the HTML Writers Guild?

C'mon, now.  I daresay that _any_ reasonable, rational person
would see Jimmie's sig as exactly what it is -- a personal
opinion/belief of one person, and in NO way, shape, or form
indicative of the HTML Writers Guild's official position on
anything.

You're being attacked for a dumb opinion that relates to election.
Actually, it's not _you_ who are being attacked, but that dumb
opinion of yours.

Welcome to the realm of debate:  If you have the right to say
something stupid, I have the right to point out just how silly
it was.
