“..us Prottys haul out annoying terms primarily or only when the Papists get particularly obnoxious, prissy and assaultive.””stimulus followed by response.”
OK
I’m interested in the term “us Prottys”. Does this mean that you speak for all “Prottys”, some who are “us” or does “us Prottys” refer particularly to yourself -—and the ones on your ping list?
“..haul out annoying terms”—
Would you agree then that some terms used, such as “Papists”, can be annoying?
“...primarily or only when the Papists get particularly obnoxious, prissy and assaultive.” Which is it?—primarily or only?
If “Papists get particularly obnoxious,(very unpleasant), prissy (fussy) and assaultive” (violent attack either physical or verbal), does this apply to all, to some, to few? Are these traits absent from “Protty” posts?
“Stimulus followed by response.”
How true. And it works both ways.
Naw.
I do good trying to keep up with speaking for myself alone! LOL.
I may have presumptions and presentments ostensibly supported by a cast of thousands . . . but mostly, my assumption when I refer to ‘us Prottys’ is that at least one or 3 or so others agree with most of what I’ve said in that post.
In terms of stimulus/response . . . I really do believe . . . from watching this for more than 10 years hereon . . .
Prottys tend to be pretty mild mannered ON AVERAGE.
UNTIL some Roman Catholic et al posts some outrageously baiting, outrageously idolatrous, outrageously blasphemous, outrageously tweaky, outrageously assaultive post.
THEN the match is on.
We may not have masses of bureaucratic political power mongering magicstericals behind us but we’ll still rise to the occasion to some degree.
We may not have rosaries with marbles for beads and crucifixes the size of canes to swing and maim with but we’ll still stand up somewhat tall for what we believe to be good and righteous and Biblical.
It appears that a good lot of Roman Catholics et al hereon
REALLY DO !!!NOT!!!! GET IT
about
THE INSTITUTUION
THE DOGMA
THE PERSONAGES OUT THERE OR OUT WHEREVER
ARE
NOT
INDIVIDUAL FREEPERS.
And, MOST Prottys can fiercely loathe this or that idolatrous dogma or practice while still loving the individuals involved.
We realize that’s not a grace nor a skill that many Roman Catholics et al seem to have acquired or even be interested in acquiring.
On these threads, I think my definition of
prissy = haughtily, self-righteously, puffed up and snidely ostentacious.
