THis is why I put you in the same class as PP and merc.


How do you know I wasn't providing commentary on the board in general as I see it? What makes you think I was referring to myself?

I'm noticing you're not a very loving christian. Have I ever done anything to you? What have I said that makes you write such angry sounding posts? And most importantly, what responsibility are you going to take with respect to your anger, or will you continue to blame the likes of me?

Assumption. Feel free to corrrect me if I am wrong.

I'm noticing you're not a very loving christian.


At times I do better then others. But why is it non believer frequently use this when someone who claims to believe falls short of the standard. I do not claim to be perfect and the natural man wins out at times.

Have I ever done anything to you?


Nope. Did I say you have?

What have I said that makes you write such angry sounding posts?


My posts are not angry at all. Just calling some bad behavior when I see it.


And most importantly, what responsibility are you going to take with respect to your anger, or will you continue to blame the likes of me?



I am not angry in the least. You sound angry though. Nor do I blame you for anything. But I do point out foolishness and I have seen you pounce on Peterson for no reason at all, which is foolish. PP, you and Merc do this thoug you do it less.

The reason I point it out is that if you want encourage others to be christain, you'd be more effective if you lead by example. I also sometimes point it out to others because I perceive in them a desire to appear superior simply by calling themselves christian, and being a christian clearly does not make a person better.

Well, you've mentioned me a couple times now, of which I'm aware. I've clearly made some sort of negative impression on you.

Denial is a wonderful, no doubt about that.

Well, to you, maybe I do sound angry. Occasionally when I post, I am (not often, but sometimes. I'm subject to moods just like everyone else).

But if you want to hear about foolish, it's making assessments about other people's motives with limited information, and then calling it "foolish" when you haven't a clue about what you're talking about. That's right up there bell bottoms and eating at McDonald's as far as "foolish" is concerned.

Why would I pounce on DCP for "no reason at all?" It's foolish to believe anyone does anything for "no reason at all."

Where this critical mass has been achieved, a sufficient chain reaction has occurred as to rend the very fabric of reality. It was awesome. People spoke in Reformed Egyptian, wrote in the Deseret Alphabet; further they all were bathed in light through the medium of Kli-flos-is-es, or Hah-ko-kau-beams.

DCP holds himself very well against attack. I've always been impressed by that. And I do genuinely think that he says what he means, and means what he says. I haven't seen anything that would make me think otherwise. And I respect that...
...do I take much of what he says that seriously? ...not so much - but some of the pure bile I've seen thrown at the guy is kinda beyond belief!

I'm with Sethbag. If you have an uncontrollable urge to give DCP a smack round the head, then I'd suggest sticking to reasoned argument. Otherwise, maybe there are passers by you can insult with equal passion.
