I wish there was the same outrage on the part of Christians at that, frankly
As far as outrage, I think that when a Moderator edits and deletes, it pretty much means the same thing.

Alice,
I believe that Brian is referring specifically to the text by Zenovia on which he commented:
Originally posted by Zenovia:
I hate to say it, but could the rumors about her sexual 'leanings' have had anything to do with it?
And while she may hate to say it, she did. Rumor-mongering and speculating about others in political circles may have a time-honored place in American political circles, but it remains a nasty, dirty tactic in which no self-respecting Christian should choose to engage.
My grandmother, of blessed memory, was wont to say "if you didn't see it with your eyes, or hear it with your ears from one who did, then let your tongue be silent, lest your mind be poisoned or, worse yet, the minds of others by you - for which God will call you to answer".
I rather think she was right.
Many years,

I have continuously deleted that *inappropriate* remark since it first appeared, and I honestly don't know HOW it keeps on getting reposted by all of you!
Actually, I have had it!! I am really quite offended also.
I have tried to edit and delete all inappropriate remarks and those posts with remarks referring back to them, so that all of you could continue having your discussions without getting sidetracked by someone's uncharitable remark. Instead, the inappropriate remark keeps on miraculously getting reposted.
I could have taken another option and just closed the thread but I thought that would have been disrespectful to the discussion and to all involved. I have tried my best to be as fair as I could but that doesn't seem to be appreciated, so now I *will* close the thread.
Alice, Moderator
