No, only the arrogant, self-absorbed assholes who project their own revolting nature onto anyone who is "far more interested in being sarcastic than persuasive".Both, you’ve never taught the truth as far as I can see. You’re always being cryptic and evasive because you’re too scared to be wrong or get contradicted and you’re far more interested in being sarcastic than persuasive. You’re one of the least effective communicators here because of your fragility. It’s a very common failing of men who consider themselves educated.
And also, even that isn’t going to be tolerated anymore. Which is a shame because you had gotten much better lately. You could be a valuable contributor if you’d switch to decaf and stop trying to bombast everyone in to not disagreeing with you.
I take it back, Steve. I was disturbed, and I obviously understated the case. Orwell was right, and obviously, so was Lord Acton.
I rest any case. If this is what "moderation" looks like in this "new focus" - well, civility prevents me from being honest about my reaction.[No one] (Torah or non-Torah) should be a jerk about it. Civility and respect should be rooted in our common love for the LORD.
To Torah Observant folk . . . to be as clear as I can . . . If someone belittles or disparages you because of Torah Observance, this should not be so. . . and it will be addressed. If we don't catch it on our own, don't hesitate to contact anyone in leadership. There have been breaches on both sides of the community, this is an opportunity to get us back toward order and a beneficial witness.
Suffice it to say...
Besides, some A$$hole would just censor it anyway.
