This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Apologies. You did say Christian worship was better, not that Christians
were better people. If so, a shame that better worship doesn't lead to
becoming a better person.

Which reminds me, I forgot to ask you something:

No, actually I truly thought you were referring to yourself. Who were you
referring to? 

IIRC it came in a discussion after David expressed frustration with your 
debating tactics. I took it as an admonition to David that when he enters
a discussion with you, he should know what to expect, as the frog should
have known what to expect from the scorpion riding on his back.
