And what happens when we ASS U ME? We make an ASS out of YOU, and I

But thanks for the notice. It's actually hard to come up with sig line,
in case you've noticed that, as well. As it has to relate, and I try not
to duplicate. I've had people steal my tags which is unfortunate, but
hard to prevent. But enough about me... So Charley, are you hitting on
me...?

No, no, a thousand times, no. No, no, a thousand times no. For very
good reasons.
The story's borderline apocryphal, anyhow, if anybody cares. Note
that the New English Bible translates it "That one of you who is
faultless shall throw the first stone."
I'm sorry, Mike, but that translation sucketh.

Chuckie, I haven't agreed with some of your posts - because I know the
Bible to be myths and fables (as I have had that book-learnin' you ought
to look into), but you got that one right. If there is any way to say
that sentence, I think the one and only way to say it (and the way _I
believe it_ regardless of religion) is the canonical:
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."
I don't care what the Bible / Koran / Book of the SubGenius / Torah has
to say. The is the proper way to convey that message.

ArWeIdiots is completely wrong here.
It should be :
"Let he whom is without sin, cast the first stone."
Thank you Jesus who never existed!

So you would say "Let I be the judge of that" or "Let they go now"? (If not,
why not?)

"Let'em what's witout the sin, let'em plaster'er wit the first stone |

I think that's a part out of the book from Dr Luke.

Of course not. But you must occasionally poetic license. "Let he who is
without sin, cast the first stone." _sounds good_. The "he who" makes it
personal and singular. "Let he whom is " is pretentious and "Let him
who" sounds too general. In some cases, wrong is Good.

All I can say is that the power of repetition shapes our judgement. So
many people are out there saying "Let he who" that people honestly think
it sounds right. (Added to the fact that they know it is archaic and
therefore can sound wrong and yet be right.)

Sounds too general? Can you possibly elaborate on that?

Is this a case of "Gibberish R Us"? Looks like it to me.
