If he truly was, then I was mistaken. He posted many things that made me feel he was just stiring up the "fecal matter" so I shined him on. I don't claim to not "act like a dick" if I feel someone else is acting that way, I shoot it right back at them. Turning the other cheek is not for every situation, I believe.
And this was also my beef with you. I started out the gate ready for a challenging debate..granted you may have been misled by my prize-fight mentality coming in. Mostly joking. You immediately countered with how stupid I was, giving me a pat on the head, with a statement of something to the effect of "You'll learn when you are older."
Just for future reference, that's about the only way to piss me off.
And then for a longish time, I got increasingly irate, but still offered my opinion, which you ignored...very rudely, and just kept on attacking my character with more condescension.
That's about the only thing that will make me keep a grudge.
And then, about the time that I was prepared to just forgive and forget it all, and give you your apology which you wanted so badly, you showed me exactly how Christian you were with a renewed vengeance, more personal attacks, more stubbornness, more being very uncharitable, very un-Jesus-like.
And that's about the only thing that will continue a vendetta.
So, are you ready to stop? Ready to be like Jesus? How about this:
you apologize for acting like a dick to most posters on the board, and then
I'll apologize for my straw man which has offended you most? Then we can go on, you can keep posting in other threads(and some good contributions thus far, I might add), we can all just stop bashing each other, and maybe START talking about Christianity and anarchy and how amalgamated they are or aren't. Agreed?
