I submit that leaving in the middle of a discussion which you initiated,
without having addressed ANY of the points which others have disputed is,
at best, irresponsible, at worst, cowardice.  Even though I have been
careful to mail you copies of all my responses as well as posting them to
net.motss, I have seen nothing from you which acknowledges them, let alone
addresses their content.  I try to leave open the possibility of there
being a UUCP black hole, but that seems rather unlikely.  Naturally, if you
have recently responded, please disregard this notice...

You have offered no defense whatsoever to justify your feelings that
"homosexual relationships are inherently unstable", you have given no
reason that homosexual acts should be singled out for condemnation
as "immoral", and one shudders to realize that you will be joyfully
passing this "reasoning", if we could call it that, on to your kids.
I submit to you, and to the audience, that we see here the dark side of
what is called "faith"--there has been no reason offered or present in
Mr. Dubuc's articles.

Is this a bit harsh?  I think not, for all Dubuc needs to do is to
confront the issues to remove the stigma of irrationality.  I still
invite him to do so.
