I never said that, my dearest friend, Tom. On the contrary, I say not to give room to vice. Thank you for your gracious comment. God bless you!

Perspicacious, and insightful dear friend Demetrios. Integrity is hard to gain but simple to lose.

Thank you, my dearest friend, Anne-Lise. Your example is striking but here doesn't apply. The man in question here builds on the most solid ground: Virtue! Hugs and blessings!
