What's curious about this is why Chuck is now suddenly dumping on Helen--I
get the feeling he's been saving it up. Clearly, he deeply resents the
whole channeling thing, like Kaite. Unlike Katie, he isn't telling us the
real reason why; his stated reasons are so transparently bogus that they
cannot possibly be motivating him. What bit him, when, and why? Chuck won't
tell us, just as he's never said why he was hanging out on Cosmic Fool in
the first place.

I defined what I consider taking responsibiliity. She didn't. That you
don't agree isn't my problem.

>>You don't see very far.

As far as we know, wasn't it Dr B.'s request for a "better way"
to which Dr H. committed to assist finding "this other way"?
Singling Dr H. out, with regard to how the Message has or
hasn't been processed by the scribes, is somewhat like judging
a picture by its frame, or a book by its cover, to my mind.

Wasn't that "...but I don't WANT it." ?

So tell us, what is your goodwill while performing
and endorsing such acts? Inquiring minds would like
to know.

No, that you are babbling like a lunatic is *your* problem. Copyrighting
something and seeing to its publication is not passively "allowing it to
be spread", but actively spreading. You are failing to make even minimal
sense.

If you don't like me calling you on your bigotry and unreason, tough
shit.

I have no interest in defending or endorsing such acts. You seem to
desire defending religion in this manner. Anything can be defended in
the same manner as you defend religion. If you don't believe it, just
change your mind and be a good coursie.
