AJ's #541: You know perfectly well that your rude, arrogant practice of insulting people while refusing to ping them causes flame wars to continue even more so.
CalGal's #545: I really have to wonder if the goal of White Mountain is apparently to incite and inflame
I must compliment CalGal, however, on the very polite way in which she has been posting on this thread. Yet, she still works in the accusations: incite, inflame, nasty.
I think I have posted enough to show how they operate, and how I have so little hope that they will cooperate with the moderator's wishes until a fundamental life-changing conversion experience comes their way.
It really is sad.
I think you are (possibly unconsciously) baiting the hook, WM. Your point about the manner in which the LDS doctrines are often ridiculed is well taken. I believe it is possible to discuss LDS doctrine, Calvinism, Arminianism, Catholicism and every other ism, with a modicrum of respect. That being said, it seems that your contribution to this thread could be objectively seen overall as an attempt to bait some of your past antagonists into flinging a little mud your way in order to prove your points to the sidebar moderator.
Your little stab about other people needing a "life changing experience" or Ca Gal working in "accusations, incite inflame and nasty" are comments which are obviously intended to inflame and bring about the worst in the reader.
When they respond in kind will you turn the other cheek or push the abuse button?
