"One poisons the Catholic portion of this religion forum when she says that Novus Ordo consecrations "may" be invalid."

Not in the least. One raises a topic of concern for discussion. Your mischaracterization of it as "poisoning" is the old liberal tactic of trying to win a fight without examination of the issues, by discrediting the other fellow and his position."

In the secular realm, it takes the form of, "If you oppose affirmative action, you're a racist;" "If you oppose abortion, you're a sexist;" "If you support the 2nd Amendment, you're an ignorant, inbred hillbilly gun nut;" and "If you voted for Bush, you're an ignorant moron."

All those things are attempts to preclude discussion of the merits of a position, and to establish one's own viewpoint as the only possible stance a reasonable person could take.

And that's just what you're doing with, "If you worry about the ability of a Heretic to perform the Transubstantiation, you're poisoning the forum."

"With no evidence. No substance."

Another liberal debate trick. No matter how many libraries full of support the other side has presented, always, always, always deny that they have offered anything. That sets you up to demand that they post it again, thereby bringing the discussion to a halt and wasting everybody's time. If they refuse to waste their time re-posting stuff that they know darn well you saw the first time around, then you can claim it was never posted in the first place.

"Just snide implication."

There's only one snide person in this discussion. Mount a mirror on your monitor so you can keep an eye on him.

That is not a "valid position."

You are probably less qualified than anyone else on Free Republic to make that determination.

The lazy man's answer to "evidence."

"Just go search for it yourself." That's the trad answer to a request for evidence.

Of course you are absolutely correct. This person does this on purpose simply to wear you out. He is on here 14 hours a day.

Y'know what......as a fan of the old "Laugh-In" show from the late60s/early70s........tell him to look it up in his Funk & Wagnalls!
