Christianist Troll Avalanche

Yesterday's story in WingNutDaily has brought us an avalanche of haters from God's Gentle People. I'm letting most of their comments stand, as you folks tend to deal with them quite well. However, I have had to ban a few of our own today for making racist comments. As I've said here several times, the main reason JMG has such a robust community is that your opinons are not moderated or censored. Yet as I seem to do every six months or so, once again I must plead for civility here. Venting with foul or obscene language is not only OK here on JMG, it's often necessary and effective. Racist expressions and threats of personal violence are NOT.
