In this case the original thread was locked so it would be reasonable to begin the argument anew on one new thread by referencing the original posts.
But it's a one time thing, so Alex Murphy if this is not the hill you want to fight on, let me know and I will pull 3770 and this sidebar.
Alex Murphy has referenced the locked thread posts on other threads in the past 6 months, and I have replied to them there. I don’t intend to carry this on any further.
In Alex’s defense, he only pinged Judith Anne because he was referencing things Roman Catholics had to say about the writings of Paul and their importance in Scripture. The poster had said, “Without the letters of Paul the Gospels would still be all that is necessary for Salvation. Without the Gospels, the letters of Paul are empty and meaningless.” Alex responded with two posts where Catholics were expressing their dislike and distrust of Paul. It was correct, I thought, for him to ping the parties who had made those posts since he linked to them as proof.
