I have to commute now, and will be OOC. Before I dash:
"I just don't like seeing it turn personal."
It was your clique that turned it personal.
"I don't presume to know better than God."
You do presume to know better than what He has told us.
"If what my little "clique" (as you call it) was making you want to puke, maybe you could just think it was because you disagree?"
No. However, your clique was engaging in a great deal of personal abuse just because they disagreed with people. I might note that, since I don't have a dog in that fight, I think my opinion of their conduct somewhat objective.
"It was expressing a viewpoint that you didn't agree with."
It was expressing abuse of other posters.
"but I feel you have been far nastier to me than I have been to anyone on this thread."
I don't think so at all.
"You, on the other hand, seem to be quite happy to offend me."
I only posted what I did because the behavior of your clique offended me.
By the way, when do you plan to take issue with the people on your side of the question for terms like "Bible thumper" and "idiotic?"
You have FReepmail, sir.
Get a grip.
Good night.
I,for one,was insulted,called names,and harassed,by someone who had no other means at hand,to deal with a factual post.
YOU presume to know GOD's inner most thoughts and feelings.You don't.
You came into this fray,because "what you saw made you want to puke". Your words. You didn't approve of anyone standing up for themselves,against a hailstorm of insults and calumny spewed by people who you agree with. That's YOUR problem and a rather large one,at that;since reading things that aren't in lockstep with your way of thinking,makes you so ill,that you want to vomit,you really should go live in some remote place,where you can blissfully ignore those who don't share your views.
I was called "JEZEBEL" by someone. I'm not divorced. I've never committed adultery,before,nor after I was married. There is absolutely NO way that that slur of a sobret is fitting. But,and I am assuming that you put me into the "clique",you found nothing at all wrong with THAT behavior...only in the behavior and replies of those women (NOT THE MEN!),who were taking the other side of the debate.
Objective? You haven't been "objective" since you began to post.Neither have you been truthful about who said what to whom and when.You took one side and that has colored ever single reply you've posted.
When will YOU take exception to those on your side,who who took this personal and attacked others with ridiculous and spurious names like "JEZEBEL" and "cackling" and "immature little girls"? My guess is never.
