I didnt point my finger at ANY individual, metmom. True; you pointed it at an obvious GROUP of them on FR.
With an individual singled out; it's easy to then point to specific posts as evidence to the charge(s) being made.
Vague references to a vast, nameless group of folks makes it much harder to see what actual crimes have been commited.

You've posted a total of 49 threads and 122,969 replies.
DANG!!!
No WONDER my butt is so broad!!
About 7,685 a year - 21 a day
If I reply to this amount; I wonder how many more I actually READ??
If I've replied to something; I've usually read at least 90% or so of the whole thread.

It's clear you posted on this thread to cause more dissention, intentionally or unintentionally, because that is what you have done. I'd not go this far.
His first reply was :
Anything can become an idol, if someone mistakes it for God.
IMHO, the worst (and most common) idol in XXI Century America is the Almighty Self.
And with it I agree completely.
Me, me, ME! is the generations we have now.

His next reply was :
Heres another idol: The incessant bickering, backbiting gotcha-games that characterize the Religion Forum ...
Now even
I got a bit defensive over that; but there is more than a GRAIN of truth in it.
I; personally; do NOT bicker, backbite or play gotcha games.
I (here he puffs out his chest) am merely 'contending for the faith...'

Oh, boo-hoo. If you think I’m going to look up the quote about the Vatican being burnt to the ground, you have another think coming. I am pretty sure who the poster was but since I’m not entirely sure, I will not post his name (it was a male name but could have been a woman).
I’m glad to find out that the Protestants who post on FR (on this thread, especially) are actually bona fide art lovers who can’t wait to visit the Vatican to explore all the treasures. All this time, I thought they only liked pictures of dogs playing poker.

Said one on a thread which started with the simple premise of the Pope giving away gifts gathering dust to help the poor. "Go away; you bother me." said another to provoke it.

Miss marmelstein, you have responded to post 39 with this. Post 39 has nothing to do with what you have posted to me. No worries though; it happens.

I know you’re a fake Jew but don’t you know anything about synagogues and the way the Jewish religious community comes together to raise money for charitable causes? I know, I’ve been involved with some of these events on behalf of my friends. Raffles, gambling, auctions, you name it. And these people GIVE; no stingies among them. You might call that “swag” as well but I wouldn’t.

I know youre a fake JewI'm a Noachide. I fail to see why that should provoke a reaction like that from you. Why are you so hostile?
but dont you know anything about synagogues and the way the Jewish religious community comes together to raise money for charitable causes?

You might call that swag as well but I wouldnt.
Let me clue you in on something: my post was not meant as a serious comment to this thread. "Swag" is a common word in the brony community (one I'd never heard of before hearing it in that context). I saw the word "swag" in the title and posted a pic of the Ulitimate Swagster, Rainbow Dash, to two fellow bronies simply because I enjoy injecting ponies into as many threads as I can. The post was not aimed at you or the serious posters on this thread and was not an attack on the Vatican, the Catholic Church, or anyone else.
Some people are just programmed to look for offense everywhere. Those people are called liberals. Apparently we have a lot of liberals here on FR.

How?
