urth-urth.net Digest, Vol 5, Issue 15

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.

What is exactly insulting Orwell’s opinion or my own?
 To whom is it insulting? Chesterton has been dead many for a long time.
Why is it insulting? People has been denouncing religion and the church
for a long time now, nothing new there, like Robert Burns said:
Proud Priests and Bishops we'll translate
And canonise as Martyrs;
If not with swards than with words. If you find Orwell’s opinion (or mine)
insulting to YOU than that, sir, is your problem.
