MEA CULPA!!!    Seriously, when I posted #4, I believed it to be a level of
play, one we should be aware of and guard against. However, had I known the
amount of bitterness it would stir up, I would not have posted it.
Perhaps, if we all learned not to take offense so easily,  apologize when we
give offense, and forgive those who have offended us, our society (medieval
and mundane) would be TRULY civilized.
