Who knows what the offending comments were made to take it to the scale that it did. Were people offended that officials and ministers were looking at the TV's at the sports bar at the Marriott? Were people offended that some ministers were spotted at a baseball stadium? Were people offended that some people are leaving the UPC because of the vote? Were some people offended that a guy was featured on Saturday night singing with a goatee? I mean....really, offended?

Fresh from a source in Florida.

An exclusive photo of the high up official that had the time and sensitivity to be offended by an Internet forum.

Here he is, the official that thinks that the free flow of information on the WWW can be suppressed by draconian measures.

JMHO.

Oh good grief!!! People need to get over themselves. Those men put their pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us do.

Rumor has it they even use the bathroom, and not just #1.

Maple Leaf,

I say it was a plot to avoid this Tab overtaking Canada as the most popular on the board.

(where is that helicopter smiley?)

As long as the high official is unidentified, any commentary is addressed toward actions and not person. Even good and godly people sometimes do goofy things. IMHO, in this case, the high official goofed and gave the common man cause to snicker at officialdom.

Here's an example to illustrate the concept:

If Thad posted, "Respected poster seen sipping a Starbucks coffee in Tampa," I might post, "A fool and his money are soon parted." I would not be disrespecting the individual, but rather making a comment expressing my opinion about conspicuous consumption and preachers trying to fit in with the "cool kids."

However, if Thad posted, "Atlanta Bishop seen sipping a Starbucks coffee in Tampa," and I made the same comment, I could then be perceived as calling AB a fool. (I'd have used your regular forum name instead of the good Bishops, but I'm not quite sure who you really are. The voice is familiar, but I can't quite put a name to it yet.)

Socali....you are dead wrong here.....believe me I know........

Well friends, there goes another really funny story, and a great picture of goofy (Oh well, maybe I'll turn him into an AFF Award or something). Turns out it was SoCaliUPC's picture after all, and not the picture of a "high up" official.
