I have not demanded any behavior of you.

But you did. Twice.

Your words from #1059:

Oh, and there is scriptural grounding for it; please spare me whatever mental contortions you go through to deny that.

Your words, from #1064:

I specifically asked you to spare me whatever mental gymnastics you used to square your denial of scripture with your desire to be a Christian.

Now I understand you are free to say such things, and I am free to ignore them. That's all I meant. Why should I honor any request as ridiculous as "yeah there's Bible supprt for that false teaching, and don't you go bringing up any counterarguments." Really? I think I have a better clam to being gobsmacked than you. By light years.

Anyway, if you want to make more of it, have a great time doing it, but this is getting, as you say, boring.  I'm done with the personal stuff. No hard feelings. Keep up the good work.

Peace,

SR

“But you did. Twice.”

It is really not fair of people to inflict that sort of stupidity on other people.

I guess if a person were completely oblivious to the world around himself, he might have failed to notice that the words, “spare me,” in American English, have for decades been used exclusively for humorous and sarcastic purposes. I don’t really see how that could happen unless a person were of very slight intelligence, but I guess it could.

However, to jump from “spare me” to “don’t talk about it with anyone else” is inexcusable. The only two possible causes for that are malice and profound stupidity.

“Now I understand you are free to say such things, and I am free to ignore them. That’s all I meant.”

Since that is glaringly obvious to anyone with an IQ over 60, you are not on those grounds excused for your bad behavior or the falsehoods you have uttered about me and my remarks.

“Why should I honor any request as ridiculous as “yeah there’s Bible supprt for that false teaching, and don’t you go bringing up any counterarguments.”

No such “request” was made, and I find it difficult to believe that you could have misinterpreted my remarks in that way. No, I think only malice remains as a possible explanation.

The “request,” if you must so mischaracterize it, could only have meant, “I can’t stand any more of your boneheaded crap, so go talk to someone else.”

“Really? I think I have a better clam to being gobsmacked than you. By light years.”

Well, in the sense that an inability to comprehend even basic conversation is bound to leave a person in a constant state of confusion, I guess that might be true.”
