Just so everyone knows, the article did say that most of the pagan and wiccan
people are very nice and peaceful. The federal investigators are also aware of
this. However, there are *some* destructive people that could be loosely
described as "pagan", at least in a broad sense of the word. Remember, "pagan"
usually means something different to actual pagans than it does to society at
large. Non-pagan people tend to use the term in a very broad way.

Also, I agree that this thread should close soon. It would be too easy for this
thread to turn into a wasteful flame war. This will be my last public
contribution to this thread. I only made this post to explain my first post a
little better, and perhaps ease any ill feelings of people on this list who are
pagan, wiccan, or anything else for that matter.

Later,
Glen
