but it would be nice to see you address the topics on threads in your own words (i.e. no cutting and pasting)

You mean like Patrick's #155? Did you criticize him for this? Or is it simply a matter of whose ox is being gored? People from both sides make use of cut-'n-pastes. So what?

No I did not criticize PM as he attributed the source - used the banner, in fact. All of us do that. Marmema did the same in several of her posts, as did I. We named the source and/or linked it.

There is a huge difference when you cut and paste, do not link or name the source you are using and pass it off as your own writing. Many, many of the poster's (who I criticized) posts that I have read are obviously not his own words (I think after a while we know how one another writes) so I put half dozen or so words in quotes and do a google search. Never fails, I find someone else wrote what he posted. I just think it is sad because it almost seems that the person doesn't trust themselves to be able to explain what they believe.

I don't want to get into a pissing match over this stuff, so I have deliberately not pinged anyone else. Do a search... And, the person I criticized was very gratious. I meant nothing personal, but coming on a thread and not even bothering to offer a theological opinion on the subject and doing a hit and run is crummy. And then look what happened with that poster and another poster. Stupid.
