JustMe's motto--is it legitimate?

[_Dr. Shades]

What "direction" was I taking this thread?

You were making the thread about JustMe rather than the statement he made.

Scroll back to the first page of the thread and notice GoodK's remarks. He was making it about JustMe and I challenged that.

My opinion is that it has little or nothing to do with the Kerry quote in the OP and I have no idea what it's in reference to.

LOL.

No idea what it's in reference to.

Right...

No, actually I don't, GoodK. I see no relevance to your remark and Kerry's quoted statement in the OP. If you'd like to lay that out with regards to relevancy, I'd be glad to consider it.

Sure, here:

In response to the Kerry Shirts quote you've (for reasons unbeknownst to the rest of us) immortalized in your sig line:

To imply that religious faith (especially Christianity) is somehow noble in the absence of certainty is not intelligent. It is not indicative of being well read, to say the very least. Well, unless you are talking about who reads the most MAD magazine.

Here, at this point, let me make this blanket statement which I think I've already alluded to in a previous post.

The remarks that GoodK began on this thread were focused mainly on snotty personal remarks about Kerry. Not the OP.

All too often on this board, the remarks become about the person instead of the person's thoughts, ideas or position.

It is crystal clear to me that those who choose to make off hand remarks about Kerry (at least) are completely unfamiliar with who he is, what he does, why he does it and the plethora of material he's presented online.

Some of you treat him as a stereotype. He is nothing remotely like the stereotypical TBM apologists. If he were the stereotypical apologist, I wouldn't be writing these posts.

That he is unique, well read, well studied and not what I would think of as the Peter Priesthood stuffed shirt (no pun intended) should be valued around here.

He's not one of the "sheeple".

LOL. Yeah, you better do that.

The remarks that GoodK began on this thread were focused mainly on snotty personal remarks about Kerry. Not the OP.

Were they focused mainly on snotty persnoal remarks, or were they snotty personal remarks?

I'm not sure I understand what this means, or what the relevance is to the OP.

It is crystal clear to me that those who choose to make off hand remarks about Kerry (at least) are completely unfamiliar with who he is, what he does, why he does it and the plethora of material he's presented online.

You keep saying this as if it means something. Are you implying that one must sleep with Kerry Shirts in order to critique his many mediocre attempts at Mopologetics?

He's not one of the "sheeple".

Who said he was?

[_Jersey Girl]

No, actually I don't, GoodK. I see no relevance to your remark and Kerry's quoted statement in the OP. If you'd like to lay that out with regards to relevancy, I'd be glad to consider it.

In response to the Kerry Shirts quote you've (for reasons unbeknownst to the rest of us) immortalized in your sig line:

Okay, stop right there. It's not "immortalized", it's a freaking sig line on a message board that struck a chord with me. I change my sig lines as I feel moved to do so.

Why is it unbeknownst to you? I can tell you why. It's because you didn't read the quote in context on the thread of origin, you weren't aware of the exchanges between myself and Schmo where I described why I saw it as making "sense".

What you did here, GoodK, was latch onto one line without context and also on to making personal remarks about someone you quite obviously don't know and have been flying by the seat of your pants trying to play catch up ever since. You saw an LDS target and starting shooting before you knew what the hell had taken place.

That's why your comment isn't relevant to the quote in the OP.

To imply that religious faith (especially Christianity) is somehow noble in the absence of certainty is not intelligent. It is not indicative of being well read, to say the very least. Well, unless you are talking about who reads the most MAD magazine.

Again, your characterization has nothing to do with what Kerry stated, what Schmo and I engaged, nor does the OP here.

You keep saying this as if it means something. Are you implying that one must sleep with Kerry Shirts in order to critique his many mediocre attempts at Mopologetics?

There you go exaggerating again, GoodK. Is that what you have to do in order to defend your remarks?

No, one needn't "sleep with Kerry Shirts" in order to critique his apologetics and I wonder if you'd have made that sort of remark if you were responding to a male poster?

One needs to know their subject.

You do not. You have not engaged his apologetics in the least.

I defy you to show me where you have.

[_GoodK]

Why is it unbeknownst to you? I can tell you why.

Oh, thank goodness.

It's because you didn't read the quote in context on the thread of origin, you weren't aware of the exchanges between myself and Schmo where I described why I saw it as making "sense".

Are you sure about that? How do you know I didn't read it, again? Because I didn't comment on that thread? Oh, OK. You must be right.

What you did here, GoodK, was latch onto one line without context and also on to making personal remarks about someone you quite obviously don't know and have been flying by the seat of your pants trying to play catch up ever since.

LMAO... yeah.... you got me.

Here I am, pretending to respond to a thread by Dr. Shades about a relatively stupid quote.

That's why your comment isn't relevant to the quote in the OP.

Well then...

Again, your characterization has nothing to do with what Kerry stated, what Schmo and I engaged, nor does the OP here.

And it never will, at least until I say that it is the most intelligent thing that has ever been uttered on the internet.

Defend my remarks? It's more like what I have to do in order to mock something I think is stupid...

No, one needn't "sleep with Kerry Shirts" in order to critique his apologetics and I wonder if you'd have made that sort of remark if you were responding to a male poster?

Oh, Christ. Here we go... I should have known.

Is quietly suggesting sexism what you have to do in order to defend your remarks?

You do not. You have not engaged his apologetics in the least.

I defy you to show me what relevance that has to the OP.
