Your #771: I've seen you gleefully post when an anti-calvinist thread is posted. Do Calvinists go on some long diatribe about how the thread should be pulled because it is "poisoned bait"? Your hypocrisy is evident. Grow up and be a man.

"Gleefully" is your incorrect characterization. "Hyprocrisy" is your false charge. Your use of my phrase "poisoned bait" implies that when I post on a thread (especially if it is deemed to be "gleefully"), that should be considered the poison. "Grow up" is intended as an insult, but remember what Jesus said about little children and the Kingdom of Heaven.

So many things in such a short post.

This post is not one where the abuse button should be pushed. It does not "rise to that level", but it is inappropriate. Multiply this post by the hundreds and thousands, and you have the situation the moderators are trying to correct, but they just aren't going to pull this kind of post -- am I correct? -- even though it violates the new guidelines. It gets in under the radar. Skillfully done.

This is where an "edit tool" would be useful for the Moderator would ask the poster to modify his post accordingly.

Maybe, but I doubt it is a mischarateriztion

"Hyprocrisy" is your false charge.

No, it's self-evident. How many "Servetus" threads have you posted on?

Your use of my phrase "poisoned bait" implies that when I post on a thread (especially if it is deemed to be "gleefully"), that should be considered the poison.

No, as usual you have it wrong. My use of your phrase, "poisen bait", was used as a comparison to when you and your ilk post historical commentaries on John Calvin. If I acted like you I would cry to the moderators that these commentaries were "poisen bait" against Calvinism. Since I prefer not to act with such peruile behavior I do not cry to the Mods.

This post is not one where the abuse button should be pushed. It does not "rise to that level", but it is inappropriate.

If it is inppropriate then the abuse button should be pushed. You seem confused. If the Mods want to employ a form of Mormon legalism then I suppose they will act.
