using the pronoun YOU, is considered a PERSONAL ATTACK? Since when?
It is a personal attack whenever you direct it at someone. For example, "You pig!" The "you" obviously is personal. It is directed to the person I am writing to. And if I am writing that to you, you no doubt would be highly offended. Using the second person singular 'you", you have offended many.
I feel personally attacked as well, in that some of these posters decided to make me the SUBJECT instead of the TOPIC.
And you wonder why?? If you attack them, they will return fire.
I dont even barely know the people here yet, being a newbie....my original thread was IMPERSONAL, unless I am being censored for direct criticisms of the Pope and Vatican {public figures}
Your original thread was impersonal, for it was a quote from another website and that is fine. But you did not discuss it in an impersonal way. You went on a rant, not only calling people of Anglican persuasion names but also other Baptists names. That won't win you any points.
Bashing is personal attacks on others which you have persisted in. Take another look at your own posts.
I am being bashed over my choice of subject. Instead of people acting adult, and either ignoring the thread, or disagreeing, saying "Jillian, I think you are wrong the Vatican really does care about Protestants" they decide to go after me instead.
First, you have started too many threads all on the same subject.
Second, if a person disagrees with you then don't make it personal. Learn to debate without putting your emotions into it. Talk about the subject matter, not the person.
I need to know why criticizing Catholicism and the Vatican is considered so horrible on this supposely BAPTIST board?
If you have the truth, and can back it up with Scripture, then fine. Read the rules again. If you can't post in grace without giving offence then don't post. If your posts are deliberately made to be offensive to others, why post them. Does that bring glory to Christ?
Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
