See...comments like "beloved leader" do not contribute to a rational dialog. It is language meant to elicit a response.
DId I personally attack anyone? No! It is not ad hominem to point out when people make false statements. It is ad hominem to say, "Sally, you are a goat-kissing toad".
It seems to me that you are so wrapped up in your political views that you get upset when someone disagrees with you, or points out where you may be wrong, and get so emotional about it that you resort to name calling at specific individuals. Truthfully, if I have ever personally attacked you, or any other BB board member, I offer apologies...but I don't believe I have done so, as I work hard to stay on topic. However you and a couple of others deal in the personal attack as a debate tactic with great regularity, which means you have either run out of arguments, or your emotion has gotten the best of you.
I am a big boy and can take whatever names you want to call me; but realize it does nothing to make your point or to contribute to a rational discussion. I am also ashamed to say that these type of dialogues do nothing to show visitors the love of Christ we are supposed to exhibit to the world. This is the truth...that most non-Christian boards I frequent show more love and caring than is ever on display here.
May God help us all!
