CW uses “bro” to get under my skin, as I have already explained to him that since we do not share the same mother, and seeing how he is not born again, we are not “bros” no matter which way he choses to slice it. And that is precisely why he keeps calling me “bro.” Just thought I’d clue you in on CW’s phony apology.

GGG,

I view the term "Bro" as a colloquialism. I like to avoid getting hung up on words. Liberals are hypersensitive about words. This is why they try to attack conservatives with the "tea-bagger" slur.

As Christians, our Savior expects us to act as his ambassadors in the world. I think you would make great gains by accepting CW's apology at face value. At best, he may become more apt to give you a fair hearing. At worse, your kindness "heaps burning coals upon his head." I find that really cool!

Pettiness is beneath you. I know you're a bigger man than this. I suggest you accept his apology at face value.

CW,

If GGG doesn't like being called "Bro," perhaps it would be civil for you not to call him "Bro." Thanks for a good fight. I hope you had as much fun as I.

There is a larger story behind the whole “bro” thing, but it’s not really important enough for me to explain at the moment. Suffice it to say, CW used the word “bro” to turn his apology into a non-apology.

I did! I only call him Bro once in a while to make sure he is awake. I don't think he really minds. It goes back aways when he said we were only brothers if I had been saved. Since I had, I started calling him Bro.
