Frankly, I'm looking forward to a peaceful week.

Oh...ETA...we had to add that rule into the Board Rules due to his foolishness to begin with...so this is hardly the first time he has been warned about this.


Bot loves to play the "poor, poor, pitiful me" game here. He acts like he is so picked on and loves to embellish it. His comment that I my calling him out on tossing the gay accusation in his recent posting was like Eric calling him a child molester is a fine example. Yet he calls many here degenerate apostates and vile hypocrites.

Either he is just playing games or he is really thinned skin.

Did You read Gulliver's Travels? Is this the word used in it?
(This is the book I have read first time this word in. I may have been 12 then.)

A Yahoo is a legendary being in the novel Gulliver's Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift.
Swift describes the Yahoos as vile and savage creatures, filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver, who finds the calm and rational society of intelligent horses, the Houyhnhnms, far preferable. The Yahoos are primitive creatures obsessed with "pretty stones" they find by digging in mud, thus representing the distasteful materialism and ignorant elitism Swift encountered in Britain. Hence the term "yahoo" has come to mean "a crude, brutish or obscenely coarse person".


I hoop that You are not that type being...

- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

I was teasing. I hope I am not yahoo-ish too often, though I won't claim I NEVER am.

To me the presence of the apologists is what makes this board so interesting. Without Bot, Dr. Peterson and the rest, this board would pretty much just be PostMo or NOM. I hope they all stick around.
Then again I guess Eric has a little more personal experience with them than I do.
It is my province to teach to the Church what the doctrine is. It is your province to echo what I say or to remain silent.

I would be fine with Bob if he would knock off the "poor me, I'm persecuted" act every time he gets painted into a corner he can't get out of.

He is quite knowledgable about Church history, and I would actually enjoy his opinion if he could give it minus the snark.
