They're just personal flames to throw up a smoke screen and steer the conversation away from the topic.
LOL. All I do is ask for a little courtesy, just as you did, but you start whining about personal flames. It's ok for you but not for me? Talk about a double standard. Here, to make it simpler for you to understand my request in terms that aren't personal flames, let me put it in your own phraseology:
BTW, did you see the thread about Open Theology: A Response to John Piper by Dr. Gregory Boyd on the Religion Forum. Altho not a "written" rule it was clearly stated in that thread that when a poster is speaking of another poster's church by name in a post they should capitalize the name of the church. I guess courtesy is not your strong point.
