It sounds like you've changed your stance on this somewhat already .... but I just wanted to point out that, according to the Gospels, Jesus *rarely* hesitated to call a spade a spade whether dealing with friends or foes. Anyone who sees fit to address a beloved follower as Satan under provocation certainly didn't suffer from undue mealiemouthedness. Not to mention all the "hypocrites" and "offsprings of vipers". Obviously, I'm being extreme to make a point ... there are so many examples of his compassion and patience with stupidity as well .... I'm just sayin'. He clearly wasn't afraid to call it as he saw it.
