did you have a problem with the content or was it the way/where it was presented?

I do have problems with their doctrine. I have problems with virtually all the doctrines of all the denominations of Christendom, for that matter. Nevertheless, the thread was one for expressing prayers and condolences for our neighbors, the ones we are supposed to love just like we love ourselves. I think your remarks were poorly chosen, and had precisely the opposite effect you might hope they would have on someone visiting the thread.

There are so many threads on this forum where people can let it rip and people, while they might be put off, are not so incredibly turned off by a comment like yours. I personally would not ever put it the way you would because I am too interested in winning people to my way of thinking and disinterested in galvanizing people into a defensive position.

But, it is a free country and free speech extends to these threads...

So you don’t have an objective issue with the doctrinal content of what I said, just a subjective issue as to how/when it was said.

Fair enough.

Thanks for the critique.
