I'm not sure what more to say, Themis. I provided the reasons why this thread, as started, did not make a good case at all. I provided the reasons why its problematic. I really don't think you'll read things in a more appropriate way either. That's why I bring this stuff up. You'll causually come in a comment about me, when this thread is nothing but an unadulterated twisting attack on DCP. And yet, you wish me to change my approach. Its amazing to me that you will not recognize the problems and instead focus on me. This place is ultimate in hypocritical and nonsubstantive--and yet you wish to complain about those characteristics in me. Yahooo...I ain't the problem. I'm commenting on the problem.
This is why you are looking like Simon these days who is now going after jon without any substance.
You know...Its helpful that you attack me and Simon. But I don't care for it.
There is a lot of criticizing going on both sides,
This is akin to Buffalo saying something along the lines of 'I see Scratch and Peterson as the same.' orwhatever he said. The majority of this is coming from the critics of LDS. What am I to respond to unless its attacks on LDS people or myself around here? Very little. Sure there is some, but often, even that, is peppered with ad hom complaints about DCP or some other LDS.
but I expect you can't see that very well. Some of that criticism is valid and others are not. There is to much on both sides for me to waste time dealing with most of it. I have a number of times disagreed with some criticism, and explained why I thought it was wrong. Now I may not be perfect and could have done so better, but I have seen some believers who disagree in such ways as to maintain positive feelings between parties, and have much more success. You might try this more.
Try to be more like you? No thanks, but no offense. I find your tack off-putting, biased and weird.
