What goes around comes around. A judgement like that from a protestant to a Catholic, in personal terms "May you receive all that Esau received" is going to interfere with whatever dregs of spiritual life permit such a statement. But we are told by a few Catholics here that Esau was blessed.
Regardless of my intentions, are you now questioning their assessment of Esau? If you believe Esau was blessed and loved by God and rewarded, then why are you squawking?

Regardless of my intentions, Would you care to share what your "intentions" were when you made that post?
While your at it, I'm still very interested to know your thoughts and conformity to the remainder of the second chapter of Saint Paul's First Epistle to Timothy.

Is there only one kind of blessing?
Christ enumerated quite a few kinds of blessings, as I recall. Protestants may not be very familiar with “poor in spirit” or “peacemakers” or “merciful” but according to Christ those are indeed blessed states.
As are long life, many children, and earthly wealth. It’s clear where Esau belongs, except perhaps to some protestants.
