I can only think of the words of St. Francis of Assisi's Prayer: Lord make me an instrument of your peace! Well, it seems that my leaving the door open for comments has become a cause of pain not only for me especially when individual's names and their human dignity become objects of scorn and attack.Some thoroughly enjoyed academic exchange. Unfortunately the remarks were growing distant from that reality.
Sorry. I extend my apologies to those who were hurt or insulted by others' comments. It was never my intention that sharing could become so painful.
God be with you ... all of you. The blog will continue but without the opportunity for accepting comments.
