It will be important to point out to new comers the source of the BS. It ain't us. If a newcomer looks at this thread, it will be you. I found Linda's remarks to be overly caustic, but then when she explained her familial situation it put some context to them and I could see where she was coming from. You, however, didn't even contribute to the thread and are just picking fights with others that you don't like and then have the nerve to say that BS is coming from elsewhere. The BS is coming from you, and that's not an unusual source around here. I didn't like the behavior before my husband's family. They are just icing on the cake

The BS is coming from you, and that's not an unusual source around here. Bingo, Tod. Naill, your Jesus would wince at the attitude and words you put forth in many or most of the threads I've poked through. Of course, you have good reasons, etc, etc. Let's make a deal. After this thread, you must not respond WITHIN any thread that I start, nor directly TO any post that I make in other threads, and I in turn will not respond WITHIN any thread that you start, nor directly to any post that you make. Even if you start a thread that's labeled "FrankHS sucks" I promise to stay away. Deal, in good faith? ?? From your scripture, RSV: I Peter 4:15. "But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief maker;"

Naill, your Jesus would wince at the attitude and words you put forth in many or most of the threads I've poked through. Of course, you have good reasons, etc, etc. You would probably wince if Jesus spoke to you. It is common here for the unaffliated to decide what Jesus thinks. I am assuming from poking around your posts, that you fit that demographic. Let's make a deal. After this thread, you must not respond WITHIN any thread that I start, nor directly TO any post that I make in other threads, and I in turn will not respond WITHIN any thread that you start, nor directly to any post that you make. Even if you start a thread that's labeled "FrankHS sucks" I promise to stay away. That's not the way it works. If I see something that needs a correction , count on me to say so. From what I have read of you posts, you are in the majority. However, you will learn soon enough that I am not your problem, friend. Deal, in good faith? ?? From your scripture, RSV: I Peter 4:15. "But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief maker;" Here is one for you, "When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." You might keep that in mind before you speak and decide what you think you know.

Spend a few holidays with my pretentious in-laws who speak of the 'Word of the Day' and how 'hahaha, they don't even know where the TV remote IS mind you, because TV SO rots the brain". Actually, I'm referring to my husband's stepmother; I could always count on his mother to shout something crass and funny across the table when they did this Doesn't sound like family get-togethers are much fun. Really? I'd pay good money to buy tickets to be in the room with all of Linda's family together. (Hoping free popcorn is included!)

I have personally concluded that "just sayin' " is at least a lazy, if not rude phrase. People say it in driveby fashion when they want to prevent any thoughtful criticism about what they are "just sayin." Just accept it, since what I'm "just sayin' " would be so obviously true if only you had my experience, or you knew what I know. Oops, I just farted online, no big deal, just sayin... As I (vaguely!) recall the times I have used "Just sayin'..." it seems to be in response to, what I call, the "rearticulation games" that some play. Where one makes a statement and a response comes, "so what you're sayin' is..." or, "what you really mean is...". Now, there is some lattitude for this if the rearticulation follows logically, but some play games to rearticulate into outer space. For instance, when I say, "I hope Obama wins the election." it is fair to rearticulate: "so, what you are sayin' is that you hope Romney loses?". But when someone tries on: "so, what you're sayin' is you want Romney and his family to die horribly in a plane crash before the election?", that is where I may reply: "Nope. Just sayin' I hope Obama wins the election." (With an implied "that is all that I am sayin'.") This reminds me of Robertson Davies' pet peeve that his students would sometimes respond to his words with, "so what you meant to say was...", to which he would very tersely respond: "No! What I meant to say was what I did say!"

Good points Robert. I have had people in my life who rearticulate things that I didn't say. In other words it is the proverbial "putting words in mouth." when that happens it makes the responder defensive and then communication breaks down. It is often passive-aggressive behavior covering up thinly disguised anger.

It only hurts those with something to sell. I don't understand what you are trying to say. Can you explain? Hold that thought, Don, I will reply later. It happens now and again that the non affiliated will decide they know Jesus and how he thinks and how he actually interacted with people while engaged in his ministry. You of course, know that he was not selling anything nor was he attempting to be what others expected him to be which resulted in a lot of conflicts. Now, this new fellow here provides a new example. He quotes a scripture meant to put me in my place. What he posted could easily be said of the Lord himself. It is written that "The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’". What a "mischief maker he was. The idea that he would associate with tax collectors and not associate with the Jewish Bourgeoisie. You also know that he was not one to spare the truth. It is common here for some to come to the rescue of those that agree with each other. And, they are not above piling on. I have seen them pile on you more than a few times and check your grammer and spelling. They will pile on the new guy if he steps out of line. I trust he will use spell check. That's what I like about Robert. He is no ones lap puppy. He has noting to sell. He is not trying to fit it at the expense of saying what he thinks. He keeps the window open, in other words. If any new person wants to know who the foul mouths and trolls are here, it should be easy to few their profiles/ multiple profiles in the case of Bill (unless he erased his melt down(s). It should be noted who starts most of the anti-religion threads or the thinly veiled pokes and groups of faith. Like I said, I have nothing to sell, especially not that the memberships increases at the expense of being able to converse openly maintaining the value of such a forum which I value.
