What defines you?

Wow! Sonship got five honorable mentions.

Sonship is a class act and this forum is the poorer for his absence due to his prolonged sulk.

@secondson said
Did you ever stop to think about why there are so many posters judging you so?

Never, I just collect the insults as trinkets to remind me of the thinned-skinned nature of some people’s religious persona.

A bit (but only a bit) like warriors collect the skulls of their enemies.

Are there others receiving as much flack in these forums, or are you the most gifted?

I have no interest in the abuse trophies of other people here.

When people only see the narrowest slice of someone else, they tend to define that person by that slice. People are vastly more than that, even the dullest of us, but que sera sera. Some people buy into what they hear from others and therefore start to believe they are less than what they can be.

That I think is true of most people, but then there are the exceptions.

Sometimes a corrupt character is revealed by the slightest gesture.

But you're right. We should generally give more latitude to someone who might just be having a bad day.

Maybe you should consider the criticisms and examine your forum persona.

Just sayin'!

Maybe you should read the list and consider that these are mostly “Christians” and then ask yourself “how much does divegeester care about the opinion of these people?”

Just sayin’

In answer to your question, probably about as little as they care about divegeester's opinion.

The thing is though, when that many posters share the same opinion about divegeester, then maybe divegeester should consider what might be causing them to be of the same mind with regards to his posting behavior.

And that's the point don't you think?

Either way it's ok with me because I like you, and I enjoy confronting your online disinhibition syndrome issues. 😂

I'm not sure you know what online disinhibition syndrome is. I know divegeester both here, online, and away from the online/internet world. He's the same person in both environments.

For there to be online disinhibition syndrome, he'd have to be different - in some disinhibited way - when he's online. But he's not.

So, as is often the case, you seem to be struggling with the meaning of words. Can you give an example or two of posts that you think display online disinhibition syndrome?

Why, then, do you do this to people if you don't want it done to you?

My goodness FMF! Did you find some fault in suzianne?

Apparently you're not sure I know much of anything.

He's the "same person" in the real world as he is here?

That's a scary thought. Does divegeester cause offense against people in the real world like he does here?

I wonder how many people divegeester comes into contact with in the real world that share the same opinion of him as so many here do.

And since it is Christians with whom divegeester has such issues, here online, it's no wonder he can't find a church to attend for wholesome Christian fellowship in the real world, considering the opinion he expresses about the church here online.

So you're saying divegeester exhibits the same syndrome in the real world as he does here online?

That's revealing!

He caused "offence" against you ~ with something he said to you?

Are you against finding some fault in other posters?

Yes. I'm quite stupid since I struggle with the meaning of words. In fact, when I read your posts, I wonder if I know the meaning of any words.

Examples? Nope! I can't find a single example anywhere in this forum.

Do you offer yourself as an example of what a "wholesome Christian" is supposed to be like? You have said several times that you are "just as bad" or even "worse" than divegeester. Do you still think that about yourself?
