I sense you may want to argue. I will refrain from doing that. This could be the reason I responded to your referenced post with Scripture. I will always respond with Scripture if continuous hate is spewed at me, no matter what anyone thinks or says.
After being continuously slaughtered with so many insults, I could have very well mistaken you for one of the haters and responded with Scripture. You can still hold that against me, that’s up to you. But I will not be engaging in any back and forth on FR with those who don’t want me here. I decided that weeks ago.
Of course I don't. I am, and always will remain, direct... but there is no point in arguing.
The fact of the matter is that, on this forum, from time to time you will encounter people who disagree with you. A disagreement is not an argument, to my mind. The first should entail an exchange of cogent responses, and the latter is more akin to trolling. In my disagreement with you at that time, I was rather gentle -- on purpose, because we have like minds about Trump -- but I got back something else.

Good.

Right, I get that, but please don't mistake simple disagreements in opinion with hate.

Ah! Progress! You are graciously accepting of the fact that things spun way out of control on your side. I responded in-kind, and for that, I have a part in it.

If I did hold it against you, I would not be having this conversation with you right now.
A disagreement should be met with a respectful set of responses, whereas trolling or argumentative styles, not so much. I guess, to put it in firearms terms: Be a sniper, not a shotgunner.
I took buckshot for no good reason. :)
Quick ping to JR so he sees our mutual progress in civility. I thank you, BFAC, for the reasonable response. I encourage you to remember me and from whence I come, so you don't shotgun me again. :)
