Seems to me that putting the Pr...I don't know, Joe. Seems to me that putting the Primates' request into plain English isn't dismissive. It may be a tad sarcastic, yes. But if you're going to be Joe the Bartender, perhaps you'll allow me to play Crazy Guggenheim from time to time. I wrote this before reading the Archbishop of Canterbury's off-the-cuff comments, and think there is much in common, especially the vagueness about what exactly might happen down the road.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I certainly don't think that my use of irony is having any affect whatever on the strained relationships in the AC. You give me far too much power. If anything, I hope a little humor can help lighten the situation from time to time.<BR/><BR/>But just so you know, if you are interested, I'll be posting some very <I>serious</I> reflections on where we stand in the next few days.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-72825396111000361942007-02-21T10:31:00.000-05:002007-02-21T10:31:00.000-05:00Let's see.

And this has inspired your dismissive and sarcastic response. And we wonder why the our relationship with others in the AC is strained.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-12586321960975807822007-02-21T05:44:00.000-05:002007-02-21T05:44:00.000-05:00Yup, that about sums it up.

After all, when Bishop Iker starts complaining (as I hear he already has) it would be the primates' team he would be comlaining most about, and somehow I don't think the primates will be as interested in giving him everything he wants when he's fighting with them.<BR/><BR/>JonJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323740465436735706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-15263611087899201532007-02-20T23:16:00.000-05:002007-02-20T23:16:00.000-05:00Short versions.
