Don't do it, Mr. Doyle!

I, too, have followed the exchange over the posting of Rick Krogh's Easter
Play Script, and it's been quite interesting. 

I have been "stung" more than once by READING someone's thoughts concerning
postings of mine without benefit of HEARING the tone of their voice or SEEING
the expression on the communicant's face. I, like so many others, seem to put
a negative spin on some arguments which are not in agreement with my own
thoughts. (MY problem!)  Still, I continue to submit an idea or comment now
and then in spite of the "RISKS".   I recall a saying: "It's not the
substance, but the TONE." 

The key word in Mr. Doyle's comment is that some - SOME - not ALL on the list
may not be as liberal thinking, as he thought, etc., etc.  So, I'll ask him
to reconsider his plan to unsubcribe from this list and let us benefit from
his experience through his posts,  and hopefully, he may benefit from ours. 

I have met or corresponded with many of you at one time or another. I've
found in my LONG experience, that for the most part, puppeteers are a pretty
decent lot. 

Rick Krogh's kind gesture  of offering his script was typical of so many
puppeteers in that he wanted to SHARE something he thought would be of
interest. Take it or leave it. He is one of the GOOD guys. 
Mark Levenson just expressed his opinion. Take it or leave it. HE, too, is
one of the GOOD guys. 
Malgosia has offered a possible solution which may smooth some of those
ruffled feathers for which I THANK her. "Blessed are the peacemakers..."
Oooops. Sorry!

With tongue in cheek..............
I thank you for listening.
Fred Thompson
