Pet Peeve on the BB
- Thread starter John of Japan

... Now he steelin leterI guess my pet peeve is posters not being thankful about other posters taking the time to express their opinion to the OP. People are not required to enter into a discussion, or express their opinion and we should be thankful they choose to honor us with opinion and comments.

I just saw it again: someone accusing others of being Pharisees on the BB. That goes right along with the ubiquitous "legalism" charge (which is almost never really legalism by the theological definition). Really? You have to call someone a legalist or Pharisee to make your point? To me, that just means you're not good with words and have a small vocabulary. Cf: Cyrano's great list of insults in "Cyrano de Bergerac."
So, do you have a pet peeve? (And don't get nasty and name posters, because that's another pet peeve of mine.)
Pharisees were people too, made in God's own image as a matter of fact. Face it, when your argument is weak it's time to play the ad hominin card.
Disagreement being equated with hate.
While complaining about people playing that Race Card...
To the uninitiated (from the play, not the silly movie): A man comes up to Cyrano seeking a sword fight, and insults his huge nose: "Your nose, sir, is rather large." That's more original than some insults I've seen here on the BB. Cyrano then answers with a list of insults the man might have said. One of my own favorites: "When it bleeds, what a Red Sea!"My favorite. The false graciousness: "How kind you are. You love the little birds so much you have given them a perch to roost upon." I know a woman who would say that! (No, not my wife.)
I grant you that.
Long, long posts of Scripture verses with no explanation, then the poster thinking he or she proved the point.
You mean like posting the entire chapter of Psalm 119?Long, long posts of Scripture verses with no explanation, then the poster thinking he or she proved the point.
Did someone really do that??
Well, John - you could - in Japanese!!Did someone really do that??

I wanted to rate your post a winner or like or agree but it seemed insufficient given this post is needful and absolutely correct. Such actions are arrogant and insufficient. period.
1 もろもろの国よ、主をほめたたえよ。もろもろの民よ、主をたたえまつれ。 2 われらに賜わるそのいつくしみは大きいからである。主のまことはとこしえに絶えることがない。主をほめたたえよ。
So there! That proves my point--if only I could remember what my point was.
Pet peeve on the BB: Plagiarism. This occurs all the time here. If you quote someone without sourcing, certainly without giving the source's name, you are plagiarizing, and that is not only unethical, it is against the law. To be blunt: If you quote someone without sourcing, you are stealing!
Here in our college, and I would think every Christian college, you can be kicked out if the plagiarism is bad enough.
