I see. But, you don't mind duplicating the efforts of liberals to criticize conservatives.

There's a reason for that. Most have probably figured out that their arguments can't stand the weight of scrutiny so they quit making them here. They go places where they won't be challenged as rigorously. You, on the other hand, haven't figured that out yet. You still think you are making good arguments,while the rest of knowingly smile and think, "Here comes Ken again, for the millionth time after he said he wouldn't come here." And we just kind of snicker, and go on about our business, amused by the things that are convincing to some.You might have noticed that my kind are rather greatly outnumbered on this board.
And just where is the smiley that lets me know you were joking? :wavey:

Don't you do the same thing?
If I had to give a disclaimer "The following is a joke/The preceeding was a joke" anytime I told a joke, I'd have to assume that the people I was talking to were morons.
1) They go places where they won't be challenged as rigorously.
2) and go on about our business
It's sad that a thread can go this off topic. Where's the moderator for the moderators? What happens when the moderators are out of control?
I don't mind being challenged. I enjoy it. It's why I come here.1) So you don't want to be challenged? Anyone who doesn't agree with conservatives is just supposed to withdraw?
You shouldn't be. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's an exchange of ideas.Pastor Larry, I am not afraid of you in debate.
I ask questions about why you don't keep your word. That's not harassing. You are the one who promised not to come back in here. You are the who broke your promise and didn't keep your word. I am not the bad guy for wondering why.2) You don't. You harass me and don't even post about the subject the thread is about.
There was never really a topic to this thread, and no one is out of control. No one knows why Palin resigned and what she intends to do. It turned into conservative bashing early on by someone who promised to stop talking politics. I was curious as to why. As you can tell, he won't answer that question.It's sad that a thread can go this off topic. Where's the moderator for the moderators? What happens when the moderators are out of control?

/rFor the record there were no personal attacks hurled at KenH and I have never spammed this board.

Note to soon-to-be-former Gov. Sarah Palin: Big girls don't quit.
Just ask Hillary Clinton. Crying -- or at least misting up a little -- you can get away with these days. But quitting? Not until you absolutely have to, and even then you might hold on for a few extra weeks.
Just ask Serena Williams, or, more to the point, her older sister Venus. Their first set in the Wimbledon women's final yesterday went to a tie-breaker, which Serena won. But even when she was down 5-2 in the second set, Venus battled back against three match points only to lose on the fourth.
Just ask Jenny Sanford, who's doing her best not to quit her marriage even though her husband has declared that he has found another soul mate. (And, by the way, if there's a governor who ought to be quitting, it's the one from South Carolina, not Alaska.)
But Palin didn't just quit. She quit -- and proceeded to praise herself for doing so.
Ironic that this accusation comes from one who promised he wouldn't.You refused to participate in it
There were no personal attacks hurled. There was a questioning of why you aren't keeping your word, and a question about whether or not your political assertions are well-grounded. You didn't, and you aren't.and instead have done nothing in this thread but hurl personal attacks against me.
If one said he wouldn't post in these kinds of threads, then it seems he shouldn't post in it. Furthermore, as I recall, you quickly turned the topic of this thread from Palin to conservatives in general, so I think you broke your own standard. But in the end, it doesn't really matter. You are doing something you said you wouldn't and you are upset because someone is trying to ask you why.If one doesn't want to participate in the topic of a thread(or at least somewhere in the ballpark), then it would seem to me that one should refrain from posting in it.
It was a better than topic than the original one. Sarah Palin resigned for reasons nobody is quite sure about. That's not a great topic. KenH breaks his word for umpteenth time. How is that less of a topic? Sarah Palin's resignation affects no one here. KenH's posting does.In this case, you have attempted to make me the topic.
Your name shouldn't be anywhere in this thread since you promised not to post in these threads anymore.Well, my name is not in the OP of this thread.
I am questioning why he hasn't done what he said he would do. I am questioning why Ken went back on his word. Why is that so wrong? Ken hasn't offered an explanation that I have seen. There of any of a number that he could add, but he hasn't.I can't help but wonder why a man like you, Pastor Larry, would continue to harass a board member, KenH, who has decided to post on a forum he said he would leave in the past.
If a person makes a commitment and then doesn't follow through, yes, I would question them on it. As I recall, Ken put his "resignation" in terms of sin, that it was causing him to have bad attitudes and respond wrongly to others. That makes it even more significant. If a church member says, "A certain thing causes me to sin and therefore I will stop," and then doesn't do so, it is a significant issue.As a pastor is this the way you would treat a member of your congregation who has changed their mind on something as insignificant as where to post information on the Internet?
