"Open discussion? Bring it on. Controversial issues? Whatcha got? But it gets tiresome to see the same people asking the same questions, not in a way that looks to be genuinely seeking an answer, but demonstrating over and over some background familiarity and then pretending that the concept involved is all new to the questioner. It gets more than a little annoying when venom is thrown at us, as tenn has done repeatedly on this thread, for example, while coming from a background that displays profound ignorance of even the basics of that which is railed against."

Two quick points:
1. What was the title of this thread?
"Where have all the Protestants gone?"
Sounds like an invite for Christians to discuss issues with Roman Catholics to me.

2. You accuse those who disagree with you of being "ignorant", "disingenuous" or "vitriolic". Aren't you the one displaying the intolerance?

I wasn't speaking specifically about THIS thread being hijacked. I grant you that this thread IS an "open season" one as far as position defending goes. But, as I said, there ARE many Catholic threads getting hijacked on FR with virtually no reciprocation on our part. I stand by the assertion.

Meanwhile, I do not accuse those who disagree with the Catholic position on the issues as being "ignorant," etc. Serious posters and honest questioners are not even considered in what I said. An objective run-through of this loooonnngg thread should demonstrate my contentions amply.
