I believe you are mistaken.
No. wait. I should have said,
"HOGWASH! GTTM!" (guffaws to the max.)Further the other day you put up a post seeming to say that we say that Mary existed before Creation. I asked if you were kidding or not.
If you were kidding, how was that post, alleging that we believe something we do NOT believe, a clash of ideas? If you were NOT kidding, then what kind of clash is it when the one of the ideas is one we repudiate but you allege of us? Find somebody who DOES think Mary existed before Creation and clash with him.
In either case, the clash of ideas description seems false, at least as far as that post is concerned.
But in any event, this is no longer speculation. I don't think it's true of all who disagree with us on FR, but it is now known to be true of some, that their point is not to have a clash of ideas but to irritate, to drive people nuts. And, yes, if someone sets out to irritate me or a group I'm in, I take that personally, as it was meant.
I am delighted to discuss the ideas. I can't wait to start.

I still don’t fit the tidy little box some seem determined to shove me into.
