Sadly true.

Thank you for your temperate response. It always seems, at least in many of the boards that I have been on, eventually someone will drift away from discussions of exegesis, hermeneutics, etc. and launch a broadside from this position. Then there is a heated response, an even more heated response, and soon there is no sense of civility left at all in the discussion. Nothing is accomplished and everyone goes away empty.
