A case has been made that discussion of sports and culture would be more lively and well-subscribed on a more diverse General Forum that would be more vibrant. Do you have any argument to make that would suggest the forums would be less vibrant if the hypothetical merger went ahead?
Right! It's an argument about the argument. 😉
I'll have to remember only you can make a point. 😕

Why would you quote Bible verses in the middle of some General Forum banter?
Besides, I wasn't talking to you. And, if I want to quote a Bible verse I'll do it anytime and any place I so choose without getting your approval.

What a display of hypocrisy.
Originally posted by josephwYou are dodging. Of course you can quote Bible verses in the middle of General Forum chatter. No one said you cannot do it without my approval. The question is ~ why would you want to use the 'holy' scriptures of your religion to land cheap shots on the chins of fellow Christians on a message board?

Originally posted by josephwMy love and admiration for Suzziane is deep and sincere. Has lasted for years actually. I am the shallow pool that yearns for her to bathe her feet.
There you are again geester, hand in hand with the Hand making course jokes at the expense of a sister.
You just joined the ranks with ole' robbie over there who did the same thing in another thread making crude remarks directed at Suzianne.
Shall I quote Jesus when he said we'd be judged by every word that comes out of our mouths? I better not becaus ...[text shortened]... l start crying again about how I insulted you again with the Bible.
Trash talking Christains.

I absolutely love your call it like it is attitude.
I still envision you as a Valkyrie Shield Maiden. Tousled golden locks flowing in the wind. Sword glinting in the sun, hued red with the blood of your victims. Shear unmerciless and righteous wrath.
I would totally throw blueberry muffins at your bum.
Clearly, I need to buy some blackout curtains.

See, from where I sit I get caught up in the fray just like all of us and I tend to express myself in a way that's not necessarily consistent with who I am. For example: when I saw how virulently you jumped on the old guy I had visions of a punk cold-cocking an old man on the street or kicking a bum in the gutter. I just naturally want to defend. After all, GB never said or did anything to harm you did he? Why the verbal aggression against someone so harmless?

Only GB isn't a sheep. A wolf. An old mangy one to be sure. Perhaps even worthy of sympathy. Keep feeding him and you won't even notice him in the flock. You might even come to consider him another dog. Ignore the occasional missing sheep. Fierce and loyal, protecting the flock. But, he's always a wolf and only one thing matters, himself.
I periodically check back to see if he's dead yet. Tge site is probably better without my caustic contributions. Not a wolf per se, a laughing hyena seems closer to the truth. I won't be back for any length of time while that dolt spews every thought that rattles around his empty head into the forums.
