Letter to the editor: From the Web: Christian guilt won't work

Notes: "St. Augustine may be of some help when analyzing what is posted with deliberation, perhaps especially in cases where the [commentator] is not concealed by anonymity ('We are what we post', [written by Jeffrey Metcalfe] Sept. 26, 2016, anglicanjournal.com). .... When it comes to impulsive social media blurting, even hateful blurting, inoculating the posting anti-community with good old-fashioned Christian guilt is unlikely to produce widespread successful change. The analogy is to rush hour traffic, the aggressive other driver and the blaring horn, wherein deliberation on the value of love is likely overridden by the other driver as non-person and the blaring car horn as reactionary scream".
