Um, just wanted to note to you, the moderator, that what the post asserts is not what I actually wrote:

"Goooleeee, here come the "You are not a Christian" smear, couldn't see that coming..."
I mentioned 'mormonism apologist not Christian apologist', and did not assert that the poster was not or is not a Christian. This is the sort of strawman tactic that causes me to avoid posting to the poster ... and when I happen to post to the poster, it makes a 'Ooo, you posted to me' style childish response, so I just avoid it.

A distinction without a difference. You are at the very least implying what is said, here, let me expand your quotation so that all can see what I mean.
but then he is a Mormonism apologist rather than a Christian Apologist. It does make me wonder if he is a misguided Christian, that he continues to miss these obvious things in order to chew on the heresies of Mormonism as if they are truths.

Are you saying you have never built a straw man? (please say yes)
Are you saying that I always do? (Not admitting, just asking)
Are you saying you never post to anyone using straw men? LOL!

Calling me "it" or "The Poster" may be a Clinton style legal obfuscation, but I really do not think it is in keeping with the rules of this forum about pinging someone you are talking about. Simple solution, don't post on or about me, unless you want to keep the rules, otherwise, I will point out how petty and childish you are being, don't want me to point it out? Don't be that way. Refusing to address someone by name is petty and childish.

If you are going to participate on any on-line forum, you might want to grow a tougher skin, it's good for you. (you come on here and attack my religion constantly, and now you go to the Religion Moderator and complain about hurt feelings? LOL)

To lurkers everywhere: notice how MHGinTN now goes to the Religion Moderator, but does not ping me to his complaint about me, this is IMHO the lowest form of attack on a public forum where your reputation is all you've Got, to report someone and not ping them to defend themselves...

Well, at least MHG is being Consistent.
