Opinions on Trump completely irrelevant, I was wondering if you were aware of that fact.[?]
WHY?
You stated more than once you did not vote for POTUS in 2016, you chose to leave that box blank. Your voice was not heard, your opinion has no value, it carries no weight. So, every single argument you make about Trump, good or bad is like the cosmic winds, just background noise of no value to the questions and issues we face as a nation.
By your actions you have made your opinions, links, posts and obfuscations as relevant as the Renhuai City, Guizhou province, China Director of Sewers opinion in American Presidential matters.
Congratulations are in order on your self inflicted irrelevancy. [:)]
Yes, that is certainly what I said.
And what is equally certain is that is not all that I said.
You are, however, claiming something that is neither accurate, nor rational.
I haven't "made " anything here. What value and worth you wish to ascribe to what I have posted is not controlled by me, it is entirely up to you.
For Pete's sake, take a little responsibility for your own thoughts. I do not make you do anything.
But, since today this is the 500th anniversary of the conclusion of the Diet of Worms, Martin Luther?s closing statement seems appropriate this evening:
"Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen."
That is what I said then, and I do not regret it.
I think my decision was appropriate then, and still do.
Decisions of conscience are sometimes met with displeasure from others, it is an inherent cost.
I still regard my circumstances at the election then as a grace, as I continue to do so now.
Decisions to support Trump have now led many to a very uncomfortable place, whether they will admit to it or not.
And it has blinded many to any questioning of the wisdom of that support, or observations about the results.
That was their decision.
And as they say, there are consequences to an election.
Could have been a Rosicrucian up rising with Martin Luther. The Morning Star with symbolism.
serf
John Wycliffe has often been called ?the Morning Star of the Reformation.? Jan Hus, another pre-Reformation reformer, felt obliged to express his supreme debt to Wycliffe. And though he lived long after Wycliffe?s death, Martin Luther, too, felt an obligation to recognize the pioneering reforms of John Wycliffe. Luther stood on the shoulders of Hus, who stood on the shoulders of Wycliffe. Hus, Luther, and the other Reformers were indebted to him. So are we. Wycliffe was indeed ?the Morning Star of the Reformation.?

"Posting nothing but personal attacks, thinly veiled obscenities, or pornographic references to my family does't accomplish much to raise the level of discourse in this forum."
Why not contribute to raising the level of discourse here ?
I have many faults, bpost, more than you know.
And I have been called far worse, by far better.
There is an old saying that "If you knew me as I knew me, you would not want to sit next to me. But If I knew you, as you knew you, I wouldn't want to sit next to you, either."
We are all bozos on this bus.
Perhaps you should research the definition of discussion, before denying that it exists.
Nobody that I am aware of has posted anything derogatory about your family or pornographic in nature about you. If I missed something please let me know, I will address it.
I stand by this Barzillia; "Giving equal in return to that you demand from others is a glaring black hole in you."
It is why you are named "troll", and, as I explained in the past it is not name calling anymore than saying you are a Benz Driver. It is a moniker you have earned, I simply acknowledge it.
For your edification;
Definition of discuss
a : to investigate by reasoning or argument discuss the matter with your family
b : to present in detail for examination or consideration as discussed in the text
c : to talk about discussing the news of the day
Definition of discussion
: consideration of a question in open and usually informal debate a heated political discussion
: a formal treatment of a topic in speech or writing A discussion on the topic is included in the first chapter.
Do you feel you discuss topics Barzillia? Do you contribute to the discussion with YOUR feeling, thoughts or ideas, sharing them for the sake of discussion?
And as you surely know, I do not privately go to either the administrators or moderators to complain about another poster.
Never have.
Some who have posted sexual innuendo regarding my family are no longer here, and some remain.
I will not begin now.
Those who have made such posts can man up and admit they are the sources of such posts, or they can hide.
That is up to them.
The point was not to call them out, or demand sanction.
The sentence you have taken, in context, was:
"Feel free to correct my fact that I have posted that is not accurate, as I have no interest in being in error.
But stop the crying when I do the same.
Posting nothing but personal attacks, thinly veiled obscenities, or pornographic references to my family does't accomplish much to raise the level of discourse in this forum.
But I have never seen any complaints about the posters who use them.
Why do you think that is ?
And please don't try "You made me do it". "
So, in the same spirit, these might qualify as discussion....
Out of 25,000 other of my posts, you might find a few others, bpost.
That is cute Barzillia. As I said I will look into it and if the posts are offensive I will delete them. I have no reason to cry over anything to do with you.
I also noticed you completely ignored your issue with discussions; it is the way of a Master Troll, congratulations.
