Suzianne: Really? Really?

Yes. Really. Why, what's your own equivalent 'rule' for your own forum posting?
BUMP for Suzianne.

Do you have any sort of personal 'rule' that governs your own forum posting?

Do you subscribe to "Treat others as you'd have them treat you" as a rule of thumb for your own forum posting and accept it when it is the rule of thumb used by others?

And "small men" define themselves in private prior to publishing their pettiness in public.

“Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men.
Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.” ―Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

How ironic that a poster who runs away from proper frank discussion of seemingly anything ~ especially criticism ~ and chooses to hide, instead, behind unoriginal copy pasted material - quotations carefully selected for the 'attack' words they contain - blocks of text taken from other web sites - his own posts re-posted over and over again in lieu of actual engagement - should be attempting to condescend and sneer at the personalities and 'stature' of posters who are unimpressed by his furtive, misanthropic antics. 🙂

Hiding behind a cloak of platitudes and quotations while surreptitiously jabbing ad hominem insults like this, is what reveals your true nature and motivations.

"Smallness" in terms of human nature, is not disagreement. It does not describe the purpose of forthright conflict, it does not explain a person's inability to stand up honestly and be counted.

"Smallness" is revealled as a lack of human compassion, a lack of empathy. Smallness is one mind trapped in a paradigm of its own making, stereotyping the thousands of lost depressed poorly minds who take thier own lives as being cowards and of being an insult to God.

"Smallness" is other people openly excusing that attitude and statement because of partisan religious bias. Some of the biggest challenges we are currently facing as a civilisation stem from this smallness.

With my last breath, I’ll exhale my love for you. I hope it’s a cold day, so you can see what you meant to me.
