Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: question about the best version of libreoffice - MY God is better!

Chill, Phil.

I can't believe the level of antagonism coming through your keyboard. 
I'm "clueless" for not knowing Nasrin's gender? Harsh, man. While I have 
many contacts with Muslims from around the world, I had never heard the 
name Nasrin before and recalled nothing in her emails that betrayed her 
gender.

If choosing to love people, regardless of my knowledge of their gender, 
is an agenda, then I suppose I have an agenda. I'm genuinely surprised 
that my decision to love a Muslim I've never met upsets you so much that 
you feel it necessary to accuse me of having "low general knowledge" and 
being "clueless." Where does such a miserable world view come from?

I won't use the LO list to advance my views of Christianity. I use other 
lists for that, where it is admittedly more appropriate. But, I reserve 
the right to come to the defense of another who has been unfairly 
attacked for what she happened to put in her signature line. (I'll 
blindly accept your assertion that Nasrin is female.)  I felt your 
attack unwarranted and unworthy of a gentlemen, regardless of your 
religious views.

Sorry, Tom, I had to respond to Phil, and I felt I had to do it on list.

I'll let it go, now.
