I\u2019ve had a to delete a number of\u00a0comments from my Facebook page that were posted by Latter-day Saints who apparently felt an urgent\u00a0need \u2014 despite (or, more likely, because of) my express wish\u00a0that such comments not be posted on my blog and Facebook page today \u2014 to begin their Sabbath by posting\u00a0vulgar\u00a0insults\u00a0about Harry Reid (and, in a couple of cases, about me).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I must say that their comments provided a rather\u00a0depressing\u00a0start for my own Sabbath morning. \u00a0But I\u2019m better now.<\/p>\n
