Re: Spiritual and i/p

Everyone on this forum has an equal right to post and comment on any thread. It is up to the reader to determine how much weight to give other peoples' posts. The idea that certain people should sit back and not post on certain subjects while their "betters" carry on lofty conversations reminds me of Saurman's dialog with Gandalf from The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien:

"Saruman paused... 'Are we not both members of a high and ancient order, most excellent in Middle-earth?... Let us understand one another, and dismiss from thought these lesser folk! Let them wait on our decisions!'".
