Someone recently inboxed me with a message that was essentially as follows:
"Thank you for giving me a 'like' on my post! I am so used to really being given a hard time by anyone on this forum with "Orthodox" by their name (except ******** — I have known her for years, since long before she adopted her "church name"; she is a sweetheart.) that it was kind of a shock to see you, an 'Orthodox', "liking" something I wrote."
I have heard similar sentiment from others. Does it concern you that people think or feel this way? Do you think there is truth to it or that people overreact?
Curious about your thoughts on the image of "Orthodox" to others.
