Not exactly; your insulting, mind reading bilge seems to go un noticed on these threads. And it is not because you have magic semantic skills. As you can see, Luircin is on suspension. Is that why you took an opportunity to ‘instruct’ him, because you knew he could not respond? That’s as chicken as it gets, tyger.

Why is it that a Thumper's first reaction is always to accuse?

I don't suppose it ever occurred to anyone that the reason I'm getting away with all I'm accused of is because the accusations are FALSE, and merely an attempt to go higher up the food chain when actual DEBATE won't yield satisfactory results?

Furthermore, why would ANY person of alleged "goodwill" accuse another of some sort of cowardice FOR REPLYING TO A POST directed specifically at the respondent?

I think it's perfectly reasonable that I'm allowed to address certain posters under the rules of a "hostile witness," as their own actions demonstrate they will NOT willingly cough up information they perceive as detrimental to their worldview.

As far as we see, you have yet to post even one shread of scripture to back up the non-Christian aspects of Catholicism. Your posts consist of denials and insutls. Normally, on religion threads that is not allowed, yet you bilge on, unaddressed. This faux ‘hostile witness’ bilge is just more data missing accusation. The catechism from Catholicism has been posted, showing salvation by works is taught. Yet you don’t even acknowledge the material as posted. You fail.
