Perhaps you could offer a suggestion as to a fitting reply from Proddy’s perspective to reply to the relentless grossly outrageous false assertions when even “false assertions” is an outrageously mild label????

My suggestion for when you feel wrongly accused: don't return fire for fire, don't wail or give your accuser the satisfaction that his words have "hit their mark" - and don't mock him. Instead find some appropriate, joyful or triumphant or pray-for-them verse from the Bible as your reply and say no more.

It takes two to tango (or tangle) ...

Certainly there is great merit in your suggestion that I could profitably apply in a lot of my responses.

However, I don’t think the issue, for me, at least, is

“when I feel wrongly accused.”

The issue is a LOT of outrageous assertions that are grossly wrong, inaccurate, false, lies, untrue, UnBiblical etc.

which could easily lead unthoughtful lurkers into believing that the wrong assertions had merit MERELY BECAUSE of their plentifulness and lack of substantive, impactful replies from the Proddys.

Perhaps I could find some brief Scripture from Proverbs or some such to routinely reply to such . . . would that be acceptable or do you have a better suggestion?

Not trying to be difficult here.

Very well said and very wise.

Titus 2:1-2 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in PATIENCE.

James 1:19-20 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Again...your advice is filled with wisdom...Thank you

God bless
