Whatever it takes to stop the whining, ladies..

Men who love Our Lady don't refer to women as crybabies, and that's one reason devout Catholic couples stay married 'til death do they part.

I assure you a cold one is a poor recourse when dealing with eternal matters. When a person on a public forum which is being used to promote an elitist church posts a public positive comment regarding conversion to it, and is thus asked a couple relevant questions, but avoids answering them by misconstruing this as being about having to submit to others.

And then resorts to mind-reading and fallacious unsubstantiated charges in response to a reasonable reply, then what you term "pestering posts," in calling her to account, is warranted.

If you don’t get an answer to your question after one or two tries, then you must accept ‘no answer’ as the answer. Continuing to ask is badgering, a form of ‘making it personal.’

[Religion Moderator]

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

If you don’t want to answer a question, don’t resort to name calling and mindreading.

However, i only asked the questions once, while the other posts were in response to "i don't answer to you," to which i explained how a forum works, and "Your purpose is to be decisive by asking questions, purposefully misinterpreting them, and cherry picking quotes (Biblical and otherwise) in an effort to justify your own beliefs" [mind reading, which i did not flag], to which i explained how truth is divisive, and challenged the poster to substantiate her charges, and "You did exactly as I wrote you would." To which last spitball i gave my last rebuke. Then another poster chimed in, and one perhaps hit the abuse button.

You have a tough job, but keep it up!

Are you kidding me? There are many examples of making it personal and you chose mine? Wow. I’m officially looking for a new conservative forum.

[goodwithagun]

Since we are now tattling on mind reading and making it personal, I’d like BlueDragon’s post to me pulled. My feelings aren’t hurt and I don’t care about the false insinuations he/she makes about me, but the rules are rules. Pull the post please. Thank you.

[MamaB]

What was wrong with that post?

[goodwithagun]

Lol! After he didn’t get anywhere he tattled!

[MamaB]

Well, make mine a bottle of water. I do not leave home without it. Keep up the good work.

[mlizzy]

I was hoping you’d like the picture. Other than the kind commentary, this thread was getting difficult to read, and when I googled “uncomfortable,” it was the second image to appear. :)

And the Living Water is the Best, and is not the Eucharist!

"Since we are now tattling on mind reading and making it personal..."

As for making it personal -- I did not personally insult you, attribute motive, etc. You falsely accuse me.

"My feelings aren’t hurt and I don’t care about the false insinuations he/she makes about me, but the rules are rules"

What was the "false insinuation"?

And one more thing.

It was not myself who could not "get anywhere" and then went whining to a moderator. Ask 'em, if you like...

But I'm accused of that too.

Why a moderator pulled the comment at #64 I do not know, other than it be an incidence of Waa-bulance service, perhaps.
