It seemed to me to be doing just that after you had seemingly done the same thing. It is my understanding you, for purposes of this forum, can hate Catholicism and call it dishonest, etc., turning such hatred on Catholics is supposed to be forbidden because there are Catholic Freepers; using words like "dishonesty" is wrong as RM explained.

It "seems" to me that you are engaging in an attempt at mind-reading, which IS against the rules. Making a statement that speaks of no one Freeper in particular and stating an opinion that, "anyone who would combine passages of Scripture to make them say something they don’t shows a lack integrity and smacks of dishonesty", is NOT "making it personal". It is simply stating an opinion. May I presume that you would think the same if someone did that with Catechism passages?

Resorting to complaining about persecution while mind reading once again, trying to conclude whatever I might say here is because of my personal hatred towards Catholicism or Catholics, is also an infraction of the rules. It is indeed shameful for those professing to be Christians to accuse others as guilty of sins one repeatedly commits. Before God forgives, we must acknowledge what we have done wrong, else how will we avoid doing it again? He expects us to LEARN something.

It seems to me your argument is with Captain Teague, Keeper of the Code. I have privately appealed (ask nicely) to the Captain before, where he patiently explained where and why I had been found in violation of the code. It doesn't mean he's always going to be correct, and every judge must answer for his rulings (else The Supremes are going to get away with murder, yet he is the moderator and makes those decisions. It is tough to overturn precedent, and I would expect changes to established rules and precedents would always be advertised first and not applied retroactively.
