Cory Tucholski's Email Response - Courteous, Respectful, and Exactly what I was Looking For - I look forward to conversing with him

My email to My Email to Cory Tucholski Concerning My Comment on His Site

Mr. Cory Tucholski,

On November 18th, I wrote a comment in response to your article on the Catholic Mass on your website, Josiah Concept Ministries.

It was in response to the article found here:

http://josiahconcept.org/articles/catholic-mass/#comment-4107

At some point, I returned to the page to see if there was some sort of response to my comment, or if they were other comments in general. I returned only to find out that all the comments were gone, and that the "add comment" feature was gone for that article.

Now, I also noticed that the format of your site seems to have changed to rather jolly good Christmas-style colors and such. So, I figure that the change with regards to my comment and the comment feature for your Catholic mass article have to do with the changes made to the site.

In any event, I was wondering if you would be willing to respond to my critique of your article. I am very interested in your thoughts on this matter. I can reproduce the content of my comment and send it to you via email if you would like. Or, if you would prefer, we could start from scratch and have a dialogue on this.

Thank you and God Bless.
