I probably could if I knew what your were quoting and thought it was worthwhile to look. At this point, I don’t see either one of those things. If you’re going to quote someone, posting more than two words would help.
(Dragoon wrote earlier)“I find generalizations detract from real discourse.”
I have always found posting two words of someone’s comments and demanding further explication without having been provided the context to detract from real discourse. Generalizations, on the other hand, are usually easily dealt with.
Here is your post that I was responding to;

So where does that leave all of those self-admitted Protestant groups that cut the Deuterocanonicals from their new Bibles?
Might I suggest you apply your comments to your own posting. I am merely asking you to clarify your own question and explain which 'Protestant groups' and which 'new Bibles' you are referring to.
You're absolutely correct that generalizations are easy to respond to. It's also easy to unjustly slander and accuse using generalities, because we can lump disparate groups together as we choose. Truth though is better served by speaking clearly and clarifying exactly who and what we mean.
Both context and full earlier texts are available through use of the "To xx" link below the text, just in case you were unaware of this. As you yourself did not post my full previous posting, I find it strange that you place a load on others which you do not place on yourself.

That’s okay because I’m not worried if you do.

Nah, not worth my time. If you do not know enough about this subject I can recommend a book to you. Read Gary Michuta’s book. I think the title is Why Catholic Bibles Are Bigger. http://www.handsonapologetics.com/WCBB_BLURB%20PAGE.htm

Thankfully, I didn’t do that.
“Truth though is better served by speaking clearly and clarifying exactly who and what we mean.”
To those who are familiar with the topic my statements were both clear and distinct. Again, if you are unschooled on this topic, perhaps it is time you did some study?

Clearly you need to study. If you want to consider that a “load” then that is your choice. In any case you need to start with the basics - as your requests to me make clear. What you find strange is of no concern to me. I have no reason to believe your conclusion as to what is strange is worthy of note by me.
