text: I've had some comments pulled, but honestly don't know at what stage?    So do you konw how the peer review works?  Is it X number 'uncivil' responses get the post pulled?   Can a comment make it through peer review and still get pulled after it's been posted?
  
  It's difficult to be kind to those who treat you badly.    It's one of those Christian standards, 'love your enemy', that can be hard to live.     After the 9/11 bombing, people gathered in my large, white, evangelical church in rural Iowa and the pastor spoke.   Even more interesting is that U.S. military veteran from the congregation stood up and said at Pastor Korver's request.  "As hard as find to do this, I am asking to fine love for those who did this ...................... "  
  
  I used that to defy some stereotypes about white, Republican, small rural town citizens.    People often much kinder than our expectation of them.... not all the time.....
