	[AG]    No, you have not "gotten under my skin"; as I said, I have
heard from your type before. You do not respect the Civil Liberties of
others. That's all. You seem to want, as others have said, to "play God".
The people who know me know that I am not mean; they also know that I can't
stand unrepentive unrighteousness.

	[AG]  I don't think anyone accused you of anything, other than
forcing your biases down other peoples' throats.

Please quote someone if you can.

	[AG]  I don't believe that. If it WAS a true concern you would have
responded to Sean Mullen (Ph. D. candidate) more respectfully. Instead, you
acted like a "Nazi", as I said before.

	[AG]  Sure, you plan to "program" and "brainwash" the minds of
children. Is this respect for Civil Liberties? You have made my case against
you. As I told another "birder" last year (who is on the Board of Directors
of NABA), "How many children have you programmed against collecting? How
many young future scientists have you destroyed"? The same applies to you,
"Joseph".

	[AG]  Are you absolutely certain that YOURS are opened? Does a
person whose eyes are opened work actively to program the minds of children?
Nazis and Communists do that to children and to people. It's better to let
the children themselves decide their lifes' paths. Again, you are playing
God, except that God gives the children (and the adults) their freedoms. You
don't, do you?

	"Joseph", you're a sad carricature, and also a very dangerous
person. I said I wouldn't write you again, but I thought it better that I
did. Now, I really won't as I do suspect that this time I have written you
with more dignity than I did earlier. 

	Your responses, however, were much less than dignified. I see right
through you; I've seen you before.
