I predict we will all profit from the "temperance, prudence and justice" that have been so "charitably" shared in your descriptions.
I'm SURE that this description, "This is cloaked by an adopted attitude which might be articulated as "Extremism in the defense of MY view of the Gospel is no vice." could not possibly be applied to the views stated in your post, right?
Let's detail the charges:
- I trashed the judgment, efforts, and character of other Freepers.
By the quotes, may I assume that I am neither temperate, prudent, nor just and my manner of posting is uncharitable?

Well, here I was paraphrasing what has been said to me. I don't think it's an extreme characterization for me to make if the people I am describing agree with the description (except for the 'my' part, of course).
As to the art work, it seems to me that each one of us judges the posts of others, one way or another. You are judging mine, and I yours. How else would we carry on a controversy?
But that is a very and importantly different thing from judging the person. You clearly think you have at least a right, and maybe even a duty, to respond to what you think I'm saying and doing. Does the art work pertain to you as well?
I would say it doesn't because, despite what I think is anger and an implied charge of hypocrisy, you are not judging me but what I said.
YMMV
