If you want to make a comment, make a comment in your own words, but cutting and pasting the same lines over an dover gets old.

Jeepers kosta, it's bad enough that you make yourself the measure of God. Do you require everyone else on the planet to do things "your way?" I.e., nothing can be acceptable to you unless it meets your exact criteria for how it "ought" to be done in your view?

Just wondering....

I like to think that I give a LOT of grace

to folks who are birds of rare plumage. I have to.

I like to be congruent and consistent with my own values and match my behavior with those values, too.

However, when someone is beyond the 3rd standard deviation from the mean . . .

and relentlessly relates to others in a word choice and style which makes “haughty” a wimpy word . . .

AND THEN demands of others something opposite to their own behavior . . .

What crumbs of respect may have been left get tossed to the birds.
