Yes, and it was just a coupon code. We used the word Christmas prominently throughout the advertisement -- 21 times, to be exact -- including the subject line of the e-mail itself!
Talk about an appropriate time to give "the benefit of the doubt" -- but apparently some people are so shell-shocked, attacked, outnumbered, etc. that they can't do that.
Let's put it this way:
Say you were visiting your friend, a 60 year old Vietnam vet. The doorbell rings -- it's his sister. When he hears the doorbell, he freaks out, shouts "It's Charlie!!!" and dives under the nearest table.
Wouldn't you feel sorry for such a man, who is so traumatized by his wartime experiences fighting the Communist forces (nicknamed "Charlie"), and is obviously suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Likewise, when you have a Catholic lashing out at anyone and everyone, including traditional Catholics, obviously feels outnumbered, powerless, and desperate against the march of atheism, immorality, loss of Catholic culture, etc.
Because otherwise it doesn't make sense.
