    It's OK, DZP; he apologized.
    I really appreciate how protective you are. Thank you.
    That is what I would call a "white knight".   Generally you see that when a woman acts like a man, gets treated like a man by another man, and then the white knight rides in to "save" the woman from the confrontation she instigated.

    And thank you for forgiving me.  I apologize also (and retract the statement) for calling you a liar a while ago.  See, I don't mind being corrected by a woman; I thank my wife for doing it when I'm wrong or have misbehaved.  I admit that I can get pretty hot-headed sometimes, especially when arguing for something I believe in.  I wasn't trying to put a trick question out there earlier.  I regularly use the "Socratic method" as a form of argument, especially when I sense that I've reached an impasse with someone, and I can see how that can be perceived as tricky.
    Thank you very much for this. This means a lot to me.

    Laudislaus,

    I keep finding glaring omissions in emoticons.

    Anyway, we needs a hat's off emoticon. Very impressive.

    When I went to college, I actually found that I had a lot of extra time on my hands.  I took Latin and Greek classes and was required to read St. Augustine for one of them.  After I got a taste of his writing and thinking and his spirit, I wanted to read everything I could get my hands on.  It's interesting to watch his progression from his early days, where he sounded more like a secular philosopher who happened to believe in God to his later days when he was an incredibly mature theologian.  From beginning to end, however, he was a deep thinker.  And, most likely due to his own past, he was an extremely humble and compassionate man.  He's often depicted as holding his heart.

    • Similarly, St. Anthony was not only known for his incredible compassion, he was at the same time known as the "Hammer of Heretics".

    If only we could find that balance between love and contempt for heresy.

    As for St. Augustine, he qualifies as a reformed bad guy, so, of course, I like that about him.

    We all have a little of "reformed bad guy" in us ... except that some of us are still in the process of reforming.

    • Ladislaus, I was thinking about your affinity for St. Augustine and his reputation as a polemicist. I think I detect his influence on your writing style.

    Probably most of us.
