If our friends are all angry at Fred for that awful thing Fred said, we should find out if Fred actually said it, or just something like it, or something that could be skewed to imply it. Or maybe Fred said the opposite, and someone with an axe to grind knows that the internet doesn’t read carefully, and a misleading headline is good enough. Or, maybe it was some totally other guy, also named Fred, and the Fred we know is now holed up in his basement watching a frenzied mob slash his tires for something he didn’t even do.

(I do wish there were comments on The Catholic Weekly) I enjoy your articles and a great article here, very much needed… may I respectfully add two more point: only say what you would really, REALLY say to someone’s face and there are times when silence speaks a thousand words.
Do you have control over your pictures? The little girl who is supposed to represent “rage” looks more like fear and despair with the barbed wire and her clutching her belongings.
It was rather jarring in an otherwise excellent article. I hope you can change it.
Thanks!
