Sixty-eight years old and in so many ways still childish. Thanks for the reproach which helps me get back on track. Very encouraging. ~ Resettozero #749

You imply that post #749 was addressed to you. It wasn't and you should know it. It was addressed to Springfield Reformer

THAT, JPX2011, is called...lying, deceptive, misleading and is not an honorable defense of your religious inclinations. You do dishonor to your church.

Or whoever it is who is helping you with your research needs to be discharged.

I didn't imply. You inferred.

Do not accuse another Freeper of telling a lie, it attributes motive, the intent to deceive. It is a form of "making it personal."

Words such as "false" "wrong" "error" do not attribute motive.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Gentlemen, we need not quarrel over whether a general principle was recited to a particular FReeper. The fact is, none of us is perfect, and I have throttled back my visceral reactions to various statements and rewritten response posts several times until I was satisfied my inner child was not interfering with the content. Ideally, I would like to not have that struggle, but being a fallible human has its disadvantages. Thank God for His grace.

JPX, I having been following this conversation and intend to get back to you on a number of issues, but my time has been constrained. I am especially interested in addressing some of the epidemiological questions you raise, hopefully in the near future.

Meanwhile, for,the sake of civility, perhaps everyone might try assuming, at least for the sake of argument, that everyone here really believes what they are saying, no matter how unreasonable it may seem. I have found it really helps keep the focus on the issues. Just a thought ...

Peace,

SR
