So very typical of the exmo world, isn't it? Beastie has simply long ago run out of anything to actually discuss or debate here, and has curled up comfortably into the safe little womb of petty character assassination that is perhaps the defining characteristic of the exmo world, its psychology, and its literature.
Oh, now I see. OK, I'm on the same sheet of music now. Harmony wants to tag the above evaluation of Beastie's general psychological state, and the posts that I consider evidence of them, to an ad hominem. So, now that I've apologized for, on occasion, calling people names and composing less than laudatory poems or songs about them, it appears to be the case that Harmony and others, now smelling blood, believe they can extend this to mean that I will no longer be allowed, on pain of wagging liberal moral fingers, a defense of any assault on the Church, its leaders, or its culture, or return criticism of the attackers, lest I be accused of sin.
I've encountered this many times before. I'm a sucker and a dope for being a Christian, and when someone calls me a sucker or a dope, and assaults, slanders, and impugns me and my religion, I'm to roll over, spread my legs, bear my entrails, and make nice.
Please keep in mind, I've only apologized for ad hominem attacks on others, not pointed criticism of their ideas or their motivations and methods. Those can still be criticized and taken to task without engaging in ad hominems, and they shall be.
Harmony, in any case, is, in my estimation, in no position to hold court on me. As someone who has, for all intents and purposes, thoroughly left the Church and rejected virtually all of its central truth claims, and yet remains within the Church, under false pretenses with regard to her leaders and fellow members, as a subversive influence upon the susceptible, she should really, really be wagging her finger in another direction.
