There is a point, Dean, to my extending this
'giving offence' business. Have you ever heard the _expression_ of a family member
'he/she's blood'. When you touch blood you touch me. Theoretically, are not
fellow believer's, alive or dead, 'blood'?

How about one's wife, Dean?
cd: Good point Lance.I consider
one's wife the same as one's flesh-so in my opinion to insult one's wife is
a personal attack on that person and by doing so is to break the Ad. Hom
rule.

I disagree. DH has chosen The Mormon
religion. To insult his religion is akin to the "cartoon incident' re:
the Muslims. If John Lennon were to have been my brother then, I'd most
assuredly receive that as an personal insult.
Moderator- I think we
are drifting off the point Lance. The point is no personal
insults(ie.Ad. Hom. attacks). If telling the truth was wrong then Jesus
did wrong to the Jews? Is that what you are saying? What if the Bible is
correct and others are going to hell for these false religions-is it
better to let them burn for eternity or insult their religion by saying
it is a "wrong religion" or"Your religion is a cult". Remember on
judgement day we are are going to see screaming people thrown in the
fiery pit, Lance.Where is concern for the souls of others in your belief
of being nice and getting alone with others as not to insult them.
Also insulting ones brother
is not an attack on ones person so it is not a personal attack. J.
Lennons song "Imagine" is an attack against God.

IFO took your, and Judy's, evaluation
of John Calvin to be nothing short of an insult. However, should you
'rule' on this matter thus eliminating your/my assessment to be off
limits then, we would have no ongoing dialogue.
cd: Maybe to John Calvin
but not towards you-see the difference?If the truth insults then
that person needs to change not the truth. If I were to say that
John Lennon was a pig-that is acceptable as I am not making a
personal attack on you.But if I were to insult you by calling you
names then I have personally attacked you and would be in error to
do so Lance. If I were to say to DavH : Mormons are stupid I have
not attacked DavH but rather my attack was on the teaching of
Mormonism. In short-express your self but don't let it get
personal.
By the way, wasn't there some kind of
mystery 'rule' about not responding to posts with the above
subject heading?
No-there isn't any "new
rule". This is the same rule Perry enforced. If I make the call that
someone has broken the Ad. Hom. rule- that protects others from
verbal assaults- then reply to that in private. If I did not enforce
this then the issue of that person wrongs will become part of
the debate and become unsolvable as others got involved.-this is for
you protection as well as others. The non-enforcing of some past
Moderators has lead to many good minds leaving this site.If these
attacks continue Lance it will only be a couple of people here and
how long can two /three people carry on the same
conversation?

You spoke my question
"G"?????????
Moderator-This simply means that
the rules against insults and personal attacks are going to be
unforced by me-others are under my protection and will get fair
treatment-I owe that to God not to those who will not keep their
agreement and abide by the rules.
