John Bradford

 

Recently, a colleague posted an article on his blog highlighting a supposed issue with another website, only thing is that, as it so happens, his entry was probably not correct and was promptly removed from his blog.  Of course, it wasn't removed immediately and he subsequently faced a bollocking at the hands of the accused, nothing too harsh, but the gloves were clearly out for a while.

 

As I followed the course of all this commotion I couldn't help but be reminded of the famous quote by the 16th century English martyr John Bradford:

 

    "There but for the grace of God go I"

 

How easy it is to promptly regurgitate things that have caught our attention… even if only for a fleeting moment!

 

Incidentally, in 1555 it was with the grace of a true believer that John Bradford finally found his reunion with his Lord; burned at the stake he is said to have turned to a fellow martyr who was to be burned with him and, as they laid the torches at their feet, said:

 

    "Be of good comfort brother; for we shall have a merry supper with the Lord tonight!"

  • If you could take some time off of your busy day and retype this post using shorter words, that would be very much appreciated :) I lost the point, somewhere around "no gloves" part which I liked. Maybe you could you post some jucy details? :)



    LOL

  • ok, ok... I hear ya!

  • Um... Now what happened to the point of the post ?!

    I read the edited version first (that's just the way Newsgator organizes it) and didn't really "get" what you wanted to say (but hoped / expected to hear) before I read the original post.



    Can't all be as bright as Alex, you know ;)

  • Well, let's just put this down as a total stuff up. I think that my original post should really have been two entries:



    1) Who said: "There but for the grace of God go I" and some interesting trivia about him.



    2) What does congnitive research tell us about how our brain copes under load.
