Well, BB, you know I’m going to disagree with your assessment in this post particularly as to whom is attacking and whom is defending and what is being pro versus what is being anti. I think there’s a very simple way to settle the disagreement and find out. I’ll stop criticizing your church if you stop criticizing mine. Same offer to everyone else on here. Deal?

Here's the deal, nobody is criticizing you. But there wouldn't BE a forum if opposing views cannot be discussed. All you need to do is quit thinking disagreement is attacking. As far as having the right to disagree on this forum, it can certainly be done WITHOUT mocking, deriding, crude humor, disgusting comparisons and nasty insults. I guess you get back what you give. Stick to Caucus threads if you can't take criticism, which BTW, is only discussing views.

I guess you get back what you give.

Have you thought to examine my posts in that light? Seriously. Backtrack a bit and read the posts of those on the other side of what I'm posting.

Same suggestion here.

I'm not crying uncle, merely criticizing back as I get. 'Twas another poster who said they were yelling at me, and another who cried: "Stop it!"

I'm just the gentle one who offered the truce.
