“Well, thank goodness you’re not talking about me since I do not have a “history of making personal remarks to others on the RF.””

Truly is it said that mankind’s greatest talent is self-deception.

You have a “history of making personal remarks to others on the RF” that challenges the fossil record.

No, I do not. If I did, I would have had many posts pulled, but I haven't.

Your error stems from the fact that Roman Catholic apologists confuse criticism of a church, faith, practice or belief with personal criticisms of individual FReepers. The former is permitted; the latter is forbidden.

But many Roman Catholic apologists cannot grasp the difference. They believe every criticism of their church, faith, practice or belief to be a personal criticism, and so they respond with personal criticisms, and thus it is their posts which get pulled for breaking the FR RF rules.

These disingenuous cries of personal assault are also an underhanded means of controlling the debate. Kind of like -- "Say what I want you to say and don't criticize Rome or else I'll smack you in the face and call you names."

It took me a while to learn how to post within the rules. I encourage you to do the same. It's a much more civil method of discourse and it actually improves your own debating skills.
