Why do you always "ping" a long list of your "homies" when you are debating someone, "daniel1212"? It's like a guy going into the ring to challenge a fighter to a fight, but first he has to bring his whole gang into the ring to fight the other guy too, right there alongside of him, (sort of like the way the MS-13 gang does things). Now, it is plain to see why you might want to do such a thing, to signal like-minded individuals to gang up on someone you disagree with, so that if those others respond to your signal, and join in, posting way too many posts for your opponent to possibly respond to, your side will dominate the volume of words on the issue, and monopolize the space used in a thread. But, honestly, does that really seem like the honorable, manly thing to do? If you really have full confidence in what you are saying, be bold, like Peter and Paul, and duke it out man to man. not like some urban street gang, ganging up on some individual!

On further reflection on your emotive charge, rather than my use here of my standard practice on my initial post to a thread of pinging those who wanted to be pinged to threads as this being because I cannot handle the likes of you by myself (ask your cohorts), it is fitting that they be invited to Catholic threads that attack Protestantism. Especially seeing as as multitudes of Catholics are pinged to such (see post #2), and in responding to which the very few evangelicals who respond may be of some help, and which you should welcome under the premise that we are the ones so hopelessly divided (and we do disagree on some things).

However, the list mainly serves as inviting witnesses to to the reproof of Catholic propaganda, and which ping list is a missing feature on most forums. Such as one where for as number of days i have, by the grace of God, been countering atheists and liberals who also attack evangelicals, though in this case I presume it is on an issue you also concur.

I appreciate being pinged to threads by you! I don't really know why some RCs have a problem with that and why they have to invent ridiculous sounding excuses for why it's looked down upon especially when they often do the same thing.

If you ping a list of Freepers to a thread we might be interested in reading and joining (although being pinged does NOT make it mandatory), why should that be seen as bringing a "gang" to a street fight or as an invitation to "gang up" on someone? Seriously, I think some of these RCs are the equivalent of "snowflakes" of our time - they see every disagreement with their views as PERSONAL attacks and they need to escape to a quiet room to settle their nerves. If they REALLY think that, then as the RM advises, they should stick to their Caucus and Devotional threads and avoid OPEN RF ones. No one is forcing them to read anything. Poor dears!

So, please keep pinging me to threads. I may not always have time to join in but I do read them and respect your knowledge and the efforts you take to document your resources and back up your opinions. God bless you!
