Appropriate Communication for a Spirituality Forum

@ghost-of-a-duke said
How do you figure that? Was I posting continuously throughout those 8 pages?

No. I posted on the first page and then left the thread. I re-joined on page 7 when I Immediately gave the advice you keep religiously regurgitating.

Like I said, it seems to me that you saw petewxyz's behaviour the same way as I did almost up to the very end of that thread. The doubling-down you mentioned was on page 1, page 2, page 3, page 4, page 5, page 6 and page 7, at least. Page 8 too probably. I don't recall. You obviously didn't think he'd done the stuff you advised him to do on the first 7 pages of the thread. You obviously didn't think he'd cleared up the issue. You obviously did think he was still doubling down on page 7. You saw it the way I did, clearly.

I have always been consistent in defending those I consider friends. I am surprised you haven't realized that.

What do you make of BigDoggProblem's take on what petewxyz is up to with this OP and thread?

@suzianne said

What are you gonna do? Beat him down incessantly, like you beat down GB incessantly until he finally left the forums?

This is a lie by you, GB left the forums due to ill health.

@suzianne said
I have things to do, apparently unlike you.
I'm sure I'll cycle back around to that thread and continue the conversation. Why must I do this on your schedule?

You sound like Galveston75...

@suzianne said
I'm not so sure that matters to him now. You spoke up for someone he has chosen to demonize. Strap in, man.

“Demonize”

😂

@suzianne said
I see you.

"You're either for us or against us."Nice. Such integrity.

And yet your partisan based lack of principled posting is the hallmark of your forum identity.

@suzianne said
This is starting to smell of desperation.

I think Petewxyz’s 8 pages of doubling down obfuscation, hemming and hawing and jazz-handed countermeasures after he claimed that the only true atheist was one who converted to a theist on thier death bed, was the epitome of “desperation”.

@FMF @divegeester

Judging by the preponderance of thumbs down you two have received in this thread it should be obvious to you both that your statements, comments and assertions are unworthy to be considered spirituality forum debate material.

You carry on judging by apparent popularity and chose your responses accordingly and you will find yourself continually telling me you “like me” and me continually telling you I don’t like you.

See if you can figure out why...

Nailed it. That's what FMF and divegeester do duplicitously in tandem.

And yet at least twice in the last week you have been passing me compliments and telling me how much you liked me and my posting.

@fmf said
Ghost of a Duke's advice was "We've all be there old chap. In this forum in particular, quickly own an erroneous statement, never double-down."

If Petewxyz (who has notably decided to duck out of his car-crash thread) had taken this advice from ghost of a duke instead of crashing on with his relentlessly prideful doubling down, this current thread wouldn’t even exist.

@hakima said
Agreed. With the exception of the ... thread, this forum does not take me to a peaceful space, but it does “clear away the cobwebs” and provide a framework for considering my own spiritual path and reinforces my belief that while Sangha has an important place in my own spirituality, so does solitude and self-reflection.

Sharpening a knife with a Stella isn’t a peaceful sound but it has its essential purpose 🙂

@secondson said
Not entirely true.

Yes, it is.

You just desperately want his demise to be in some way attributed to any of the conflict he may have experienced in these forums so his passing will give your puny forum existence and poor attitude some validation.

There is nothing duplicitous about my posting. It's nor clear you actually know what the word "duplicitous" means. What do you think it means? And what is an example, to your way of thinking, of me being duplicitous?

@secondson said
Yours and divegeester's posting style and methods are divisive and disruptive to civil discourse and debate. You both give Christians posting here a bad rap while cozying up to the rest.

I feel that you need to emotionally ejaculate by calling me “an enemy of God” again.

Here's another poster attempting to do what you are doing.

Thread 178958

Your comment on page 2 is interesting in light of the various posts that precede it.

Are you digging up old threads to demonstrate a point, how awful of you.
