For a long time, all I had was my personal preference for ABP (anyone but Paul). When I first made my views known here, it became a 1000 post dogpile.
Since then, I've looked at a number of writers on Paul, only posted major websites here because frankly, the discussion bores me, and you are not a congressional committee which can compel my participation.
What difference does it make to ANYONE what I think or why? Frankly, it's nobody's business.
But claiming, as Dr. E. did, that Catholics in general feel the way I do is just ridiculous. For that reason I'm participating in a limited way. You will not find any Catholics agreeing with me, but they WILL allow a personal opinion without dogpiling.
“What difference does it make to ANYONE what I think or why? Frankly, it's nobody’s business.”
But that is what posting on an open thread does, it invites comments from anyone who wishes to reply, it's everyone business then.
The other side of posting is that no one can compel you to respond to anything you wish not to and you can simply leave the thread.
As for what others post... I only accept responsibility for my own words.
