There is no question in my mind that Chris is either reading posts or sent posts from someone who is. This is not a situation against which CCC can defend. However, it is when a post is WRITTEN that action can be taken. So, I am quite confident that Chris was eventually going to see Fernando's post. I have no personal opinion about Fernando's post because the last time I was on the Oxford site may have been close to a year ago (certainly not recently). It is very possible that Chris agrees 100% with Fernando. I have no idea. I guess I draw an analogy with the Sean affair. I have tried not to discuss Sean here in CCC because I know he cannot defend himself here. If I am going to spar with him, I do it over in rgcc. Then he can respond all he wants. Even in war, there are rules (Geneva Convention). Although I do not put Chris in Sean's category, I believe the same treatment is due him. -Steve
