Ernest Hua referred to "the Duane Gish I would love to mutilate with a
.44 automag"

I had already considered posting or mailing a note to Ernest Hua urging
him to be a little less strident, but this goes way beyond even that level of
invective.

It's no use protesting that it was meant lightheartedly.  To consider such
a threat as a joke only shows how deeply ingrained the feeling is that
generated it.

I have a self-serving motive in wanting to distance myself from this sort
thing, but I would also urge Ernest and anyone else who finds themselves
harboring such frightful feelings to realize that the bonds that bind us
are stronger than these airy doctrinal disputes.
