R-R, I'm quite willing not to ping you if you so request. But if you criticize Catholicism here, then I reserve the right to respond by pointing out how my question remains unanswered. Whether or not my response will include you in the ping list depends on whether or not you request me not ever to ping you. By default I would include you in the ping list, because it is a courtesy to do so. But if you ask that I not do so, then I will not ping you even to my critical responses to your anti-Catholic posts.

If you are responding to an assertion made by a poster who has asked that you not ping him, it is important to also not mention him in your reply. Speak at arms length, third party, addressing the issue raised objectively as if you had no idea where it originated.

I'm still laughing, have your ever painted yourself into a corner? And Catholics were supposed to listen to his "erudite" writings which were just grabbed from the internet. A really cool little blurb that lets Catholics know that 67 of 70 early fathers didn't believe in the pope. It was pretty typical that they took Augustine's Retractions to make the point and ignored Augustine ending the paragraph, "Which of these two interpretations is the more likely to be correct, let the reader choose."

I guess there's no law against impersonating a theologian on the internet.

I get it, you will agree to the request, but not really because your fingers are crossed behind your back.

The question was answered, once again a personal dis-satisfaction with the answer does not negate the fact of it being answered. So, what is seems is that a fictitious liberty to harass, is reserved based on a purely subjective misinterpretation of the facts.

I have no problem at all debating the issues. However, I have serious doubts of particular posters to restrain themselves from making things personal, based on the performance of those who have exhibited a lack of restraint to make things personal, even after being advised by the Religion Mod to cease.
