I agree with you to an extent. If one were to respond to the person
who posted from the hotmail acct, "Hey dummy, are you too stupid to
find an appropriate group to spam?", then that would be what I
consider a rightful post.

However, when the person responding uses one misdirected post to make
another unfair and inappropriate post, I don't agree. Discussion of
opinion about religion has no place on a food group unless it's about
the religious association to particular foods or preparation of foods.

Insulting those who choose to believe in one religion or another is
just tacky and rude. There are forums for that. It ain't this one.
