Now hold on there, Mac.  Given that I said "I am prejudiced against 
Promise Keepers, and proud of it." (and *my* that is a juicy one to take
out of context, isn't it?  Both of the people who have called me on it
have done so by quoting that single sentence without any reference to the
conversation it was a part of), that does *not* imply that I am going to
make up stories about them peeing on my lawn and eating human flesh 
barbecue in my dining room.

Fact is, I have not uttered a peep about the Promise Keeper's behaviour,
either publicly or privately to a single living soul.  This is certainly not
any sense of propriety or kindness on my part, (because, as we have already
ascertained, I am Mr. Prejudice), but for the very good reason that I wasn't
here last year and have no experience with the PK'ers to speak of.

<shrug>  Grains of salt are always good for your health.  I personally
couldn't care less about whether PK'ers trample the football field.  Their
philosophy is evil, and they could sing about it with the voices of angels
while planting trees and kissing babies for all it would impress me.
