then quoting me as to an "itch" towards a particular sort of reply --- doesn't quite cut it, for that "itch" is a widely dispersed sort of thing.
Look, you started the "getting personal" road with me, the moment you began the amateur catechumen question-and-answer lecture series. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't drag me into it. But see? Since you began this stuff, I can't get away from it, without getting "personal" in return. Happy now?
That sort of thing makes it impossible to communicate.
The "itch" I was speaking about is the typical, expected reaction to certain statements. I've seen the discussions a THOUSAND TIMES. It rarely changes...
The hint that it is "out there" speaks of more than one person, again, towards typical response.
You said you knew the itch was out there; you were addressing me, only. You asked me to admit it. I don’t have an itch. You were wrong.
Heck! You dragged your own self onto this thread by disparaging Catholicism and the Blessed Mother. I do have something to say; and I've been saying it. I'm sorry you don't like it.
