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.

But Marc, what about the conviction of innocents? Let's hope God compensates them? What if they aren't otherwise pleasing to God, but innocent nonetheless?
In the view of many theists, Man should not take away that which only God can give.
You said you were done, but the question I'm asking is a different one. Not about treating guilty individuals kindly, but about carrying out irreversible sentences on innocents. Guilt, in legal terms, means that which has been proven in court. That's very different from what guilt means morally. Moral guilt is absolute. Judicial guilt can never be.
