    No. This is spreading false information about another person. .I was not being literal (I suspect you know it).

    I responded tongue in cheek to a conversation I though private and light hearted.

    I thought it was humorous and that you took it as such.

    But to correct your mistake - no, I was not being literal. Attached is the screen shot you said you'd post.

    Claiming something doesn't make it so if actions show otherwise.

    I will give an example....Reformed1689 posted "Claiming something doesn't make it so if actions show otherwise." (Calling me a troll)

    @Reformed1689 has replied to me, insulted me, on over 20 posts fairly recently. None of this has been in response to my posts to him (I don't post to him).

    By your definitions @Reformed1689 is the biggest troll on this forum.

    But maybe he is just posting to threads that interest him.

    That is what I am doing. I am interested in how people defend their views on the vaccine and what sources they use.

    But I do not mind @Reformed1689 posting to my posts even though you guys consider it trolling. He has that right. I just do not read his replies because I do not care what he has to say.

    I do care what Revmitchell says because I believe him an intelligent Christian and even though he and I disagree I want to see what he says.

    I did not call him stupid. I called something he said stupid. "Getting stupid" means having a crazy interpretation of an issue. It is not a generality. You know that. Huge difference.

    That's actually not nearly all of it. My comment was about, and only about, DNA sequencing of Covid. To that particular issue, Rev was getting stupid.
    Quit twisting stuff.

    "Ok....I admit it to you (don't want hard feelings).....I'm pushing the covid-vax thing a bit of out of bounds to see what happens.

    The Nazi thread was way over the line.

    Then I read the global conspiracy thing, and Revmitchell's two threads where he didn't realize his op's were actually pro-vovid vaccine.

    Scott's stuff have been way out in left field.

    So I figured I'd go the opposite direction.

    This stuff happens when I get bored.

    I guess I'm a natural born antagonist. :Biggrin"

    Remember posting that Jon? That's what started the exchange.

    And there you have it. Clear evidence of trolling. But it’s not new. He as much admitted in an open thread.

    If you get to say what I mean then I get to say what you mean. You said he was getting stupid.

    Or are you trolling?

    You know from our conversation what I meant but that did not stop you from misrepresenting me.

    No. I have said over and over again that arguing is my spiritual gift and that I am a natural born antagonist. Those things were tongue in cheek. Hence the smilies.

    But yes, I have been pushing the issues. That is not the same as trolling.

    And no, you are bearing false witness. I have never claimed to be trolling.

    Thread is closed at the request of the OP and because a few have chosen to use it as an opportunity to slander.

    Please feel free to start another.....but not using me or my pms. Any ermisdion rescinded because of gossips.
