I note you ignored the Gospel

No. I ignored you.

When you and Thorondir can stop acting like hyenas, heaping contempt on me, then we can talk.

Until then, both of you are on "ignore."

Study Antoninus. Though we disagree, he is civil.

[Thorondir]

I have no contempt for you, a brother baptized into the mystical body of Christ, just for your unholy and destructive ideas that are ruinous to my Church. You always get to this "ignore" tactic when you are proved wrong or caught in duplicitous thinking.

Very well. I think we will be able to get along just fine without you.

Dominus vobiscum

[narses]

"No. I ignored you."

No you didn't, you stopped responding to me when I answered your question regards Our Lord and gold. You are the name caller and the one who claims the Church (prior to V2) failed the test of Christian behavior. Again. And now you lie about your behavior here vis-a-vis me. Why?

[narses]

The following isn't contempt, it is satire. I defy you to find personal contempt of you by me on this thread:

DEACON:

I am the very model of a modern MODERN-DEACON,

I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical

From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,

I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,

About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:

DEACON:

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;

I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,

I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,

In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;

I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,

I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!

Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

DEACON:

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",

When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,

When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,

And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",

When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,

When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery--

In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,

You'll say a better MODERN-DEACON has never sat a gee.

DEACON:

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,

Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;

But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I am the very model of a modern MODERN-DEACON.

ALL:

But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,

He is the very model of a modern MODERN-DEACON.
