“knock off the attitude...”
Yes, it does come across as “bossy”.
It’s not the first time.
I'm disappointed. You should have posted my comment in context rather than snippet - you know, what we are always accused of doing - I wasn't trying to be "bossy" but giving some advice. Here's what I actually said, ROE:
I have a suggestion for your "better strategy" to change the RF. Knock off the attitude of accusing everyone of "ignorance, bigotry, and lying". Try to imagine that just maybe they are NOT ignorant or bigoted or lying. I guarantee just that will change the atmosphere at once. You don't even have to make it a New Year's resolution, you can start right now! You're welcome. Glad to help.
In case you wonder why I said ignorance, bigotry and lying in parenthesis, it was because that is what JA accused the Non-Caths as doing. I would love to see a change on these forums. I try hard to keep dialog going, so please as y'all so often remind us, look in the mirror and take out the mote in your own eye first. I can guarantee the climate will cool down.
