Dear Cheryl, Firstly, I would like to stress that I don't actually believe that there are any misogynists on this list. I have read the postings concerning this issue and Philip did actually clarify his position about women being inferior in a polite manner. Finally, as regards your question as to "what exactly am I apologising for?", you have said yourself in your retort of your stance that your email to Philip was a "sharply worded post". It was not only sharp, but it was invasive of Philip's family, and it was bringing into the forum implications regarding Philip and his wife that was totally out of place. I am not rebuking you for expressing your opinions or your beliefs, but for being intrusive of the holy matrimony between Philip and his wife. (Mat 19:6 KJV) "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." This is a public list, and therefore corrections need to be made public. For your email to Philip is accessible to the general public at: //www.freelists.org/archives/geocentrism/02-2005/msg00319.html Steven Jones. --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!
