Bro. Tom,

Since you made some of the issues of your posts a challenge, and
charged that I provided no scripture, I will answer the points which
you seem to feel went lacking. That will be a day or so.

A few will not wait, so I'll answer those briefly, and now.

>I wonder still what damage would have been done had the letter been written
>to the individual you presumed it to have been. It would have been at THAT
>point, from your hand, not mine, that anonymity might have been broken.

The reason I criticisized, is that the action is rude, in my opinion.
I suppose we could get scripture on that. I'll think about it.

>Now, if your concern and desire for anonymity are sincere, I don't feel you
>should feel insulted if I should ask you in return- what then was your
>motive in attempting to identify and expose the individual by name?

Looks like Im just stuipd, Tom. I didn't have to do that, did I ?

>But then I have to ask- why then have the local UPCI assemblies cut us off
>from fellowship with them? Or, are they of the opinion that we have cut them
>off? 

That is something that will not be answered here, and we again wonder
about the wisdom of bringing serious matters of an interpersonal
involving people who are not represented here before the eyes of those
who are not related. 

No one on this list has access to the details involved in that story,
nor will they, as you can only present a fractional  PART of one side
of a story. So, asking innocents to judge seems pointless, at least.
