It was a bit extreme. I was mad about the response in Lancaster. I spoke a bit irresponsibly, and I think Brian Hamilton effectively responded with a word of peace on the issue, though he did misunderstand some of my points. As such, I took my response down, and the comments (sorry Brian). This is probably bad etiquette but I don't want to misrepresent myself on the blog. I think maybe I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I'm just making it known that I took the post down. I put up a response to the James Street ordination and the conference reaction.
