Hey, I got to use it! Or try to. Its the penalty ref, but I'm not sure its showing up - its not in preview.
Hi Dave. Keep it soothing, and refrain from profanity even via astericks.
Hi Isaiah. While I don’t deny you the right to vigorously condemn Roman Catholicism, let me again remind you that it is FR policy to not let it get personal. Here’s what seem to me to be the worst of the attacks from both SoothingDave and you. Others can say what they please, but it certainly seems that while Dave’s are strongly worded yours are deliberately personal. Please refrain from personal attacks.
SD:
EARTH TO ISAIAH_66_2! This is the third freaking time I have said this!
Or do you think infallibility is impeccability? You wouldn't be the first to be confused.
How many f***ing times do I have to tell you this?
Isaiah:
How old are you dave, 10 or 11?
Hey, dave spoiled little child, said he was going to "shun" me.
Even in your immature, childish, emotionally charged hysteria, I am glad to see you recognize the evil practices of the papist church by protecting perverts in it's clergy.
Would an estrogen suppository help you with those PMS episodes?
The name "soothing dave", reminds me of one of the early popes, who taught that sex of any kind was not sinful(he was of the gnostic flavor), and aside from being a bisexual, he had a stable of mistresses, of both sexes---but at a villa he owned outside of Rome, kept one of his mistresses and her daughter, with whom he had 3 somes with. His name was "innocent".
Seems plain to me who is crossing the “personal” line. I defer to the interpretation of others, but there is a big difference between someone saying “how many f***ing times do I have to tell you this” and “spoiled little child” and a snide personal sexually-charged attack on someone’s screen name.
And as far as your interpretation of the “shunning exchange”:
Isaiah: God says to hate evil---you say---love it.
Dave: This statement of yours is beneath contempt. Retract it at once or be shunned. We don't accuse you of loving sin, none of us has made a statement that could mean that we do. Yet you "witness" to the Truth of Christ by telling lies about others.
Isaiah: You said earlier that if I didn't retract and apologize for calling certain actions by the papist church evil that you were going to "shun" me then.
Looks to me like you made a direct accusation against Dave and the original poster of the “warts and all” comment – that “you say love evil.” This is what Dave asked you to retract, not any statement of yours “calling certain actions by the papist church evil.”
I do not ask you to temper the fervency of your convictions. I ask you to respect the other members of this board by debating sensibly and not personally attacking people you’ve never even met.
God Bless.
