    Thanks "rude" seems to me a better adjective than "bullie'. We are all guilty of this from time to time, for some it simply flows more natural.

    This thread reminds me of primary school.

    Ive been able to track this Bully Pattern to its start, at least this is how I see it.

    The trajectory starts by looking for something, generally a movement to cast rocks at. When I 1st came on here they were pelting Catholics (of all stripes) & there was a long period of piling up on them. Then there was a period of calm after the blood letting until the Calvinists became the targets. Then came the heady "Calvinist/Arminian" Wars where everyone chose sides to defeat the heresy of the opponent. Yada, Yada, Yada

    I figure that it is cyclical & we will get back to it......I call it, your turn in the barrel.:smilewinkgrin:

    This whole place reminds me of a soap opera.....

    Will the posters realize that if they just look at the front page of Fox News.com before coming to BB that they will save time by not having to click on everyone of RevMitchell's new threads?

    Will someone be told to go chase a rabbit?

    Will Salty bump a random thread from 6 years ago, with several folks responding until they realize it was a dead thread.?

    Will Iconoclast silence his critics with another healthy dose of scripture?

    Will Rippon correct Evan's grammar?

    Will Dude get his feelings hurt and lash out at posters who don't agree with him?


    Tune in next week to find out, on, as the Baptist Board Turns.....

    And is this not another form of gossip? Adding to the heap, even after I admit I am wrong, too. You need to check your heart at the door too. I know you don't like me, and that is your problem to deal with, no longer mine.

    If you dig in the cemetery long enough, you will eventually find enough dirt on everyone on this board, but some of your bones are bound to surface too. So tell me. By contributing to Wade's collection of mud to throw on my reputation, do you expect a merit badge for Research, our self righteousness?

    One last thing. If I need to be reminded of my shortcomings, I have the ability to conduct a search of my own. God bless and happy holidays too......:thumbs:

    As a HUGE fan of the ignore list, I can't believe I don't know the answer to this....

    Well, then, have I got a link for you! Here's a poll where 3 out of the 12 possible responses were omitted.

    Don't forget Breitbart.


    It they are told this, it was predetermined to happen.


    Will Salty post a thread where you must click on an embedded link to see what he's trying to say?

    Will Iconoclast attempt to bore his critics by quoting 3 chapters of the Bible with only one or two verses relevant to the argument?

    ...and mention the superiority of the NIV?


    Then post an apology. Then lash out. Then post an apology. Then lash out. Repeat.

    Same Bap time, same Bap channel!

    Just to be clear,

    1 John 3:14....We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death

    Hebrews 13:1 Let brotherly love continue.

    Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

    Least that is what da book says!:jesus:

    So...in the dark....you find 3 chapters of the bible to be boring???

    Perhaps that explains why many of your posts are devoid of any bible verses at all, just critical comments....interesting.:wavey:

    Ps.....the verses surrounding the two relevant verses help present the so called relevant ones:wavey: some might even say...it presents some context:thumbs:

    Which now makes your apology ring hollow.

    My apology was and is sincere if it offended. As I said before, it wasn't intended to offend. But if It did I do apologize. I don't feel bad that I said it in sarcasm,but that it was deemed offensive. I still think It was intended in the right spirit. :love2::love2:

    I've always called it a "superiority complex". It's too easy for Christians to believe they are right and others are wrong, and when that other person doesn't see it that way, a hate fest ensues. This exists in lots of subjects, especially politics, but with Christianity people believe that the Bible backs them up, nevermind that their interpretation may be different from everybody else's, and nevermind that the person they are arguing with is supposed to be on the same side. It's much easier for people to believe they are right BECAUSE IT SAYS SO RIGHT THERE.

    Even if not initially arguing, this leads certain personality types to respond smugly, as I fully expect some people to do with this response, which usually leads to a big mess of a thread, flared tempers, and a very bad impression to bystanders. You guys do realize threads are public to the entire world right? Are smug passive-aggressive responses really how you want to represent things? That's not being a very good ambassador to the religion.
