We aren't talking History of Christianity, here. We're talking you, trying to walk back from a broad brushed subject line that you blame ME for noticing.

There is conflict, and I demonstrated how it works. The fact that you continue to double down and insist that what you said is not what you meant is your "cross to bear" to use one of those Christian references.

Subject: All (fill in blank) are bastards.

Message: I mean MOST (fill in blank) are bastards.

But hey, that's your story and you're sticking to it. You should have put the "most" in your subject line, if you really wanted to be clear on the matter rather than trying to fire for effect.
