I missed that one!

What is wrong with people on that forum? I guess they feel that it's a safe place ot vent their hatred.

I've learned through the years that many people who are fans of The Waltons see the show as a show about religion specifically--how Protestantism is properly lived in a family and community setting.

For years I had no idea that people were viewing the show like that. IMO, it was a 70's show that used a 1930's rural community setting to discuss 1970's liberal political and social ideals. That others saw it as a platform for Protestantism surprised me to no end.

I guess we all take different things from the shows we watch and the books we read.

In the past I would agree w/ you about Brenda. I had given her the benefit of the doubt when she didn't remove anti-Catholic posts. But she responded to that thread and the posts remained. Maybe her policy is that she'll let anything stand until someone complains about it. ???

I did not defend his anti-Semitism, if I remember the incident correctly. I was merely attempting to defend his right to say it. And I 'blasted' you, rather mildly, for meddling on the forum. It appeared to me that you were trying to run the young man off the forum in an overzealous attempt to maintain your safe, lil' demographic that some of you prefer.

I just wanted to set the record straight.

...that I did not see his rmk as anti-Semitic. I also did not agree with his argument, and stated so to that effect.
