Honestly, you guys are so desperate that you'll make up wild accusations, (because you have no point to make.)

Do you want more, Under grace. If you do, I can provide ma’am Tommorow. I can throw in GB9’s INSANE strawmen too. He’s a riot.

Since you and half of your friends never learned anything about logic and logical fallacies, (which is evident from your arguments, too), here is what I called insane (outrageous, shocking). YOUR STRAWMEN

I can only think you guys are trolling me. NO-ONE can think that calling a person's argument insane, (as in crazy, outrageous, or shocking) is the same thing as calling that person insane. You would have to have never read a book in your life.

No one's namecalling.

I CALLED HIS STRAWMEN (ARGUMENTS ) INSANE

And insane as in outrageous. Look it up in the dictionary. It can mean shocking or outrageous.

Do you know what a strawman is?

Is calling a person's strawman insane calling the person a name?

Yes, I know what a straw man is.. :) But instead of saying it's crazy or insane, or whatever, all you (general you) need to say instead is something like "that's silly" or "that makes no sense".. Just a slightly nicer approach. :)

Tell it to DC and GB9.

So if you knew what a strawman is, why did you complain about namecalling

and by insane, I merely meant outrageous or ridiculous. If you read some of his posts to me, that word is the most apt and appropriate description I can use.

Anyways, I'm going to make everyone happy and stop feeding into the trolling here. It is evident to anyone that has objectivity that it's all about attack and accuse at all costs, even at the cost of accuracy and fairly representing someone.

Have a good one.

Mac, I DID say "you all" in my post. It wasn't directed at you specifically. :) And I wasn't complaining, I've just seen too much of it and it makes me sad. We are SUPPOSED to be maturely and reasonably debating and discussing issues of the bible, yet more and more, I see nothing but name-calling. Be it of straw men or people..

where is the fun in that? we are men. maybe women just dont understand us. we are playing on the sandbox.
Sorry, but when you are talking about scripture, you should'nt play

So what do you think? Do you think I was accused of namecalling because people (Not you, Blue Ladybug), didn't know what a strawman is, or because they didn't read my post with comprehension, or some other reason?

I agree with you 1,000 percent. Sorry I thought your were referring to my strawman quote. I should'nt have jumped to conclusions.

you don't know the difference between calling someone's argument insane and calling the person insane.

Let's see if you're humble enough to admit you mis-spoke. I doubt it. you never have in the past
