... and try and squash a thread that's not even your style in the first place.

Falcon9:
If you mean that it isn't my "style" to "try and squash a thread", you're correct.  I reply to such threads in order to contribute to the discussions/remarks in them, not to "squash" them.

In many threads - okay, I'll give you that.  However, I respectfully disagree with the idea that in the simple Bible verse threads, that you are contributing and not "squashing."  Riling posters up and continually coming back at them like you do, knowing you don't like Bible verses, just speaks the opposite of that.  All they want to do is share verses as inspiration, support, encouragement, uplifting, etc., when instead they are receiving remarks that are hurtful and disrespectful for what they are trying to do with others who enjoy contributing other verses or quotes, etc.

No, even dissenting/opposing viewpoints are contributory, (intended to promote discussion, under FC policy of what a contributory post consists of).  That some posters don't 'like' those types of replies is immaterial to them being contributory,(rather than trying to redesignate "contributory"
as 'that which agrees with others').

All they want to do is share verses as inspiration, support, encouragement, uplifting, etc., when instead they are receiving remarks that are hurtful and disrespectful for what they are trying to do with others who enjoy contributing other verses or quotes, etc..

See above, (unless you've snipped it again to remove context).

Egomania (Falcon9)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Egomania is an obsessive preoccupation with one's self and applies to someone who follows their own ungoverned impulses and is possessed by delusions of personal greatness and feels a ack of appreciation. Someone suffering from this extreme egocentric focus is an egomaniac. The condition is psychologically abnormal.
The term egomania is often used by laypersons in a pejorative fashion to describe an individual who is intolerably self-centred. The clinical condition that most resembles the popular conception of egomania is narcissistic personality disorder.

Egomania (Falcon9)

Regular Ad Hominem  (from "loulizlee", in lieu of debate or discussion):

1. A makes claim B;
2. there is a perception of something objectionable about A,
3. therefore claim B is false.


{...although the " ... ack[sic] of appreciation" part was humorous ...}
*ack*

[loulizlee]

Sorry  - deleted the "l" in cutting and pasting.  Glad that added to the humor!

That's okay, doubtless others have received an "ack" in appreciation as well.

Since you'd 'accidentally' altered a definition, (and then misapplied it), however, consider this one:

"Santimonious: 1. hypocritically pious or devout <a sanctimonious moralist>
               2. a 'true believer' or, typical xtian when beliefs are challenged"

Sorry I disappeared.  I had a surprise phone call tonight from my son's mil.  She has set it up for her and our granddaughters to meet with me (out of town.)  Sorry, falcon9, but I just have to say this; our prayers have been answered with this.  We haven't seen our granddaughters for over a year.  I'm so looking forward to spending the day with them tomorrow.  To falcon9, again, you could say maybe everything fell into place for this to happen.  Anyway, have a good night and thanks for the discussion.

Though such cannot be irrefutably attributed to 'intercessory magical rituals', enjoy your family time.

Though we don't agree about the first part, thank you for the enjoy part of it.  This means the world to me, today, to get to spend the day with them.  Have a great Saturday!

Was Falcon9's picture accompanying the entry by any chance?

No, however a picture of 'pseudo-jedijohnnie' was found under the "blind faith" entry:

[JediJohnnie]

At the rate he posts in several threads on a daily basis,how long do you suppose it will be before Falcon9 develops carpal tunnel syndrome?

At the rate 'sithjohnnie' trolls my posts, how long will it take him to form an unhealthy obsession, (presuming that the pseudo-jedi has not already done so)?*

*- replying to trolling posts does not constitute additional trolling; that would be considered "feeding a troll" and my policy has been to feed such   trolls that which they cannot digest, thus resulting in a constipated troll/pseudo-jedi).

[loulizlee]

Why is it that when we do the very same thing as Falcon9, it is trolling, and with him it is not?  In my opinion, I have added meaningful content with my posts.

[JediJohnnie]

I mean,I'm genuinely concerned.How else would Mankind benefit from his constant bashing of religion,belittling of Believers and his obscurantist arguing?

Isn't it great to have so much to offer?
