You're damn right I did, if the "good advise" was to keep quiet about the dishonesty of certain people on this forum. I sincerely hope I'll continue to resist "good advise" to that effect to my dying breath. > You fought off everyone trying to help you. "Trying to help" me tolerate dishonesty?? You have it exactly backward. I'm trying to help others see that dishonesty is intolerable, ESPECIALLY on a so-called spiritual forum. I can understand why people who are dishonest would want me to tolerate it; it's no surprise you're touting that "advise" as helpful. I DO not understand why honest people--which is most of the people on this forum, thankfully--tolerate it in a few bad apples. > Some posts, like Rick's were so eloquent and kind > to you trying to get you to see this point. Don't get me started on Rick's disgusting moral cowardice in that discussion. Or your silence, for that matter, when you were well aware of the lies being told on your behalf and did nothing to correct them. > You are painting yourself into a corner Judy.

If one party is consistently dishonest, it isn't a simple exchange of ideas. This exchange started when you asked, "How could otherwise bright people believe something so patently absurd?" You went on to refer to "crazy" and "irrational" beliefs and compared those who believe flying is possible to those who believe they're entitled to murder others who encroach on what they think is their God-given land. Do you really think all that was *polite*, Curtis? Was that the basis for a "simple exchange of ideas"? You should have been grateful to me for not taking your head off right at the start. The liberal blogs have an acronym, "IOKIYAR." It stands for "It's OK if you're a Republican," referring to the hypocrisy of criticizing Democrats for doing something Republicans do all the time without a second thought. Apparently we need one here, "IOKIYAAT," "It's OK if you're an anti-TMer." Anti-TMers get to be dishonest and use the nastiest sort of ad hominem against TMers, but God forbid a TMer should be so impolite as to call an anti-TMer on his tactics; the anti-TMers rise up in the most blatantly hypocritical wrath. > How many times does a poster have to remind you that personal > attacks are not necessary to make your point? How many times do I have to point out that if you *have* a point, you shouldn't need to use dishonesty to make it? And if you do use dishonesty, you should expect to be called on it. > You should have learned not to > throw sand while playing in the sandbox in kindergarten Judy. I never did that. My mother had to teach me to stand up for myself when some other kid did it to me-- not by throwing sand back but by telling them it was unacceptable. ------------------------ Yahoo!
