G’day all.

BTW, welcome, Jane. Haven’t seen you around the group before. Please do stay, and don’t let the peanut gallery scare you off. It really helps if you don’t dignify a certain type of post with a response. It just encourages them.

If it’s any consolation, you’re not the first to wonder that.

While I agree with your intended sentiment, that schoolyard-style teasing is not a “Christian” virtue, I should point out that this is _not_ a Christian newsgroup, but rather a newsgroup for the discussion of Christianity, as it pertains to Australia.

Still, it’s hard to justify this kind of behaviour as “discussion”. So if the involved parties want to continue, could they please move it off-group? Thanks.

Cheers, Andrew Bromage
