One was by you, which was after another poster insisted there was never even a bit of anti-Protestant bigotry on FR by Catholics while claiming/complaining about anti-Catholic by Prots. As pointed out, the former was a claim to omniscience, while the poster continually refused to provide his definition of bigotry.
As this went on and on, and as I do save my posts as a rule, i took time to look there and on FR somewhat, and provided a list of things among which i thought a reasonable person would find some things sounding bigoted, if consistent with he saw as bigotry from the other side, but absent a definition or any examples of anti-Catholic bigotry this was denied.
Right. I do. Thank you for pointing out that they are to ALL and not personal attacks. It is your theology that is laughable, not your persons.
Whether any were personal i cannot say, but the one candidate i supplied was definitely to all,
Protestants are by inclination vandals, and should be eradicated from the face of the earth just for that, -- and soon they will be a dark historical memory in Christendom, just like the iconoclast have become. - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2966953/posts?page=2884#2884
I dare say your medieval RC side came out there, though you corrected your slip up after a bit,
I should have said "ProtestantISM" meaning not people but ideology...To the extent that an individual Protestant subscribes to this aspect of Protestantism, he is a vandal by inclination. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2966953/posts?page=2884#2884 .
But in hindsight, lacking any clear definition or examples, this omniscient assertion of complete absence of Cath. anti-Prot bigotry was probably not worth the time to deal with it .
I never claimed anything in general about Catholics on FR; quite possibly some Catholics posts are bigoted as well. But I insist that acute dislike and contempt for Protestant theology and methods is not bigoted by definition, so long as the poster points out the facts he dislikes. Of course the same is true with respect to Catholicism, or the race relations or what have you. Negative opinion in itself is not bigotry. It becomes bigotry when the opinion is formed in absence of knowledge.
Yes I made a few sharp posts, but when it appeared personal or not substantiated, I would rephrase or apologize, as your examples show.
