Originally posted by josephwYou seem to be admitting to dodging then. You used a Bible verse to try to score a cheap point and then wriggled and squirmed when asked to explain what you actually meant. If you "meant" it in some other way different from what the words in the Bible meant, the onus was on you to explain. Choosing "to not engage" in these circumstances is dodging.
That's you perception. It appeared I was dodging, but I wasn't. I simply didn't want to get embroiled in something that was being made to look like something other than what I meant. I explained it clearly enough, but you and FMF insisted I meant it in a way other than I did. So I chose to not engage further. That's all there is to it.
Originally posted by josephwSure, but I'll confront you for your nastiness, evasion and hypocrisy any time I want to if and when it comes up, as I do with cowardly misanthropic and often self-contradicting posters like Grampy Bobby, Suzianne and robbie carrobie and a few others. The rest of the time I will treat you the same as the other 9 out of 10 of the other posters, with whom I feel I am among friends and have done so for many years.
Ok. You found me out. Ready to move on now? 😉

-Removed-So you want to go there.
Ok. So I may have gone too far. It didn't look like you were joking, but if you say so, then I apologize for misjudging your intent.
Now, are you going to admit that you express negatively sentiments designed to impugn the dignity of a particular forum poster side by side with those who have rejected Christ against a fellow believer?

Originally posted by josephwSo why didn't you concede that you'd "gone too far" and "misjudged [his] intent" on Thread 167492 four weeks ago when you'd had a chance to reflect? Why wait until now?

Would have been better to have heard from divegeester on this since it was to him that I made my post. Are you his mouthpiece?
I've said what I have to say. Now I'm moving on.
Originally posted by josephwI'm not sure how you square stonewalling for four weeks about something you now admit was not right, on one hand, and claiming (a page ago) that you "...have always tried to be true to my beliefs and posted accordingly ... as honestly as I know how" on the other?

Originally posted by FMFFunny how all the posters you describe as "self-contradictory" are those who are guilty of the high crime of disagreeing with you. Isn't that why you are attempting to "criminalize" joseph like you attempt to do with all the other posters who disagree with you? And what do you expect us to do when YOU exhibit your typical "nastiness, evasion and hypocrisy"?

Oh, and btw, you have no friends here, only those who vacillate between putting up with your sneering attacks and acting like sniveling sycophants.

Originally posted by FMFHis vitriol has nothing on the vitriol you and divegeester both spewed all over GB for pages and pages in the Memo thread (and, in fact, whenever the urge strikes you in any thread), as well as the name calling you have inflicted on joseph in this thread merely for disagreeing with you two. Seems like you both need some anger management classes, perhaps then you won't feel compelled to harangue people for pages and pages just because they show the courage to stand up to your shenanigans.

And it belongs right here, despite your attempts to shove off criticism of your malignant actions to another thread. And don't call him Shirley.
