The disrespect is in the context in which it has been used on this forum.

In this case, context is the key to the persception of disrespect.

Precedent is also very informative in this case.

Personally, I do not perceive prejudice as respectful - or more importantly, Scriptural.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: - Luke 6:37

You also said:

And the context here - without prejudice - was...

We find no conclusive justification for the seemingly arbitrary interpretations the RC edifice makes of a number of Scriptures, including that one.

IMHO, if posters continue to harbor resentments towards one another, then "respectful dialogue" cannot be achieved.

Perhaps a refresher in forum rules would be in order . . .

avoid bringing negative junk from thread to thread—particularly in a personally assaultive way. Stalking is not allowed.

And philosophical carried-over whining is not any more attractive.

I was abiding by the rules of the RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE with as close to an upper limit of respectfulness as my conscience would allow.

I was carrying on a dialogue per markomalley’s request on his topic.

Out of the blue comes this seemingly routine, reflexive, shrill, whine about “RC edifice” being perceived and labeled as disrespectful.

Guess what . . . demons are likely to be serving snowcones at the ice-skating pond in hell before some folks approve of my posting on an RC thread in any way, shape, or form. That’s not exactly new information.

Personally, I think some folks need to take some attitudes to the cross and make things right in their hearts and in Christian relationships before uttering/typing another public word.

I have no trouble at all loving the fiercest amongst the RC’s. Doesn’t mean I think much of the attitudes represented so chronically by all such.

So what.

My posting even quite deliberately and earnestly in a respectful manner and tone while according to my conscience and reading of Scripture has proven to be intolerable to a few RC’s who are evidently bitterly and resentfully intent, determined to carry grudges and carry hostilities from thread to thread wherever and whenever they find my screen name.

Are they really so clueless as to expect me to respect THAT????
