That should be OK and as Voltaire said 'I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'

To take such offense at another's beliefs is intolerant and in my (rather limited) experience, tolerant is something that people tend to enjoy being. You are entitled to be upset about things but that is no reason to abandon something so brilliant as AWAD. I am sure Anu did not write it to annoy or offend you but to explain his viewpoint with which you may or may not agree.
To end, another Voltaire quote 'I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write'


I think Anu's comment would be perfectly acceptable in a forum. I am not trying to censor him. i am just asking that opinions be expressed in a more appropriate setting.

If I want to discuss religion or politics, I would go to a forum such as this. On the other hand, I thought the daily e-mail was a vehicle to learn about new words.

IMHO, Anu's comments were rather prejudiced since he makes a blanket statement about religions that believe in God. He may know about words, but not much about different religions.
