@kellyjay saidIf this is a reference to me, then you are flat out lying, KellyJay. In response to ideas, opinions, and perspectives on a range of topics that you have posted on this public forum in 2023, I have posted literally hundreds of completely on-topic and focused observations, rebuttals, and questions. All have been met with silence ever since your meltdown towards the end of 2022. So, if your claim that "it isn't topics that matter [he] only really desires to go after people" is aimed at me, then you are a liar. Having said that, your inability/ unwillingness to enter into discourse IS part of the discourse.
Yes, and I promise you even if you disengage they will continue because it isn't topics that matter they only really desire to go after people.
@fmf saidThat's not what I meant.
when the topic becomes the person
Well, the topic IS "the person": Jordan Peterson. It's in the thread title. I see him as, for the most part, a charlatan and grifter.
When the topic is about a person, then discussing something about the person is fine by me, but I was referring to how often, in this forum, the discussion drifts from the topic to the person expressing their opinions and beliefs about the topic matter, and devolves into personal criticisms.
But I agree with your assessment of Peterson.
@josephw saidTopics are not important to them, they are just a means they use to enter into a conversation to drag someone down that disagrees with them. Many times the topic isn't even addressed, they jump in just to disparage others without a pretense of entering into a topical conversation.
Constantly poking at the person, and deflecting from the topic.

@kellyjay saidObviously we're just country bumpkins.

In their estimation there's no way we can know God as God wants to be known.

@kellyjay saidWhat utter nonsense.

Both yourself and Josephw play this victimhood card way too often in this forum, while simultaneously throwing out all manner of vile abuse and name calling.
@divegeester saidChallenged is one thing. Berated and persecuted is quite another.
Stop being childish Joseph. This is a discussion forum, if you don’t want to be challenged on your beliefs then don’t come here.

Links please.
Of course you don't.
Some selective listening, that.

@divegeester saidMore embellishment?
No I don’t have links to your claims of incidences betraying and persecution.
Do you?
I said berated, not betrayed.
