Examples of beefcalf acting uncharitably

[_GR33N]

In this post, so that I can eliminate uncharitable behavior on my part, please use the search feature of MDB to dig up those old posts where you remember me being a jerk.

Pointing them out to me will help me to justify being 'less than charitable'.

Thanks to all.

ETA: of course, if you find any particularly shining examples of me bending over backwards to be nice, you can post those as well.

There, fixed.

This isn't a challenge. This isn't a snide way of saying "I've never done it, and you have no proof." This is simply a way for me to get feedback from people who think I need to change the way I do business at MDB.

Yeah, right.

Seriously, GR33N? After all the interaction we've had here, you really think that these examples qualify? And what about your own personal experience with me? I think I've bent over backwards to be as nice and as polite as someone could possibly be to you. And not because we agree on things, because we disagree on most everything related to LDS truth claims, but because I think that acting nice gets better results. I can't tell if you are descending into snarkiness with your 'fixed it for you' comment or if you are poking good-natured fun at me, so I will extend the benefit of the doubt to you and assume the latter. Cuz that's how I roll.

Forgive me for coming off somewhat snarky. I found it curious that your request for anyone who had the opinion where you have behaved less than charitable to post those examples. When I posted links to your posts of where I thought you were being a jerk. Instead of accepting the feedback and using it to 'understand how not to act in the future' as you said your intent was, you resort to defending your actions.

I do appreciate the interaction we've had and I am having some fun with you mainly because you've thrown yourself out there with this post.

My goal is to persuasively discuss the strong merits of rational thinking and the downside of supernatural belief systems. I recognize that my chances of changing someone's mind, slim though they may be at the outset, can only be diminished by behaving uncharitably.

Consider the idea that attempting to change someone's mind ie: instill doubt in a belief system that brings them happiness, is less than charitable. Especially with those who are not looking for that influence such as within your own family.
