Originally posted by rookie54Thumbs up, Rookie, for making sense out of this petulant squabble contributed by Sir Handrew.
I see and hear daily that you of the Clergy preach one against another, teach one contrary to another, inveigh one against another without charity or discretion.

first, my post you referred too iz NOT a wiki link, but to a real dictionary, not a website where anyone with an internet connection can modify the contents...
