This is a personal note to all who are not clear how I use my voice.

When I speak for myself, it is only for me and myself, nobody else, not
even anyone associated or affiliated with me in any way. When I act as a
spokeperson for an organization, it is solely for the organization, and
all who are members of the organization.

In particular, regarding my post #9970, I was acting as the voice of the
Family, to make clear where it stands in regard to the Church. Target me
for that, if you will, but don't draw in anyone else who has never
joined the Family or participated in its activities. Not even the
Shadowsnakes who are a guild in itself, where members feel free to
pursue their own personal paths in religion and politics, for which we
have chosen to be independent of religious and political organizations,
like the Family, the Church, etc.

See you around this Crossing.
