First of all, economic emergencies dont count. IMO there is no "too big to fail" and if there is the the governement let it happen on their watch and they all deserve to reap the benefits of the angry voters that come to washingto n with pitchforks and torches. Second, I would not consider Iraq or Afghanistan an Emergency.

China attacking us with nukes...yes.

Your logic confuses me, the only way to limit spending is not to limit it hmm....

His logic does not confuse you, apparently his statement does. If you spent half as much time working towards an understanding as you did crafting sarcastic responses, you'd probably get a lot more out of these discussions, and so would your brethren.

And HEY HOW ABOUT THAT MOVIE THAT WAS IN A THEATER...

If you're mad at me about the science thread get mad at me over there. Your holier-then-thou-tirades aren't wanted here.

This isn't about anybody being holier than anybody. This is about stopping with the snide comments long enough to actually listen to what other people are saying. That you're treating Matt (and Ironica) with so little consideration is a fact that has nothing to do with me or with other threads. The fact that there's a pattern emerging in your behavior - and that you seem to know exactly what I'm talking about without my having even explained it - is something that could signal the beginnings of a problem. I am not a big fan of problems. And trying to stare down a brother, an elder and a forum official isn't helping your cause any.

If you're talking about that I deleted the post because it was wrong and in poor taste. Other then that I have treated have treated Matt fine. if you feel I have been treating them badly please give me an example

If I make snide comments about someone's post I would have needed to read the post first

I would like to remind you this is the internet, I can express myself in anyway I choose. If I have insulted someone (which I haven't because no one has said anything) I will apologize.

So basically, I was correct to say you should not treat people that way.

The specific sentence I quoted was your sarcastic response to him that misinterprets what he said. So either you were being sarcastic because you wanted to belittle his intelligence, or you were deliberately misinterpreting him to make him sound unintelligent. So far I have given you benefit of the doubt that you were not doing this deliberately, and suggested that working to achieve an understanding instead of crossing people about a misunderstanding has a positive outcome for everybody.

I did not say you didn't read the post. I said you weren't listening to what they were saying. This response itself is a prime example of how you respond without making a genuine effort to reach an understanding. You read but you did not listen.

Quote

I would like to remind you this is the internet, I can express myself in anyway I choose.

I would like to remind you that these people are your brethren, and deserve better to be told to just deal with whatever attitude you choose to bring with you on a given day.

I would also like to remind you that even if they were not, just because choices exist does not mean all choices are equally good, and poor choices of expression reflect poorly on you, and for outside parties, reflect poorly on the people you associate yourself with. As if the church doesn't have enough problems today as it is, without brethren biting at each other.

Lastly, I would like to remind you that the Internet is free but it is not an anarchy. This forum is a community, with policies put in place to maintain a certain level of decorum. Certain individuals have been charged with maintaining those policies and keeping order on the boards, and if someone's "choice of expression" violates those policies or turns into a disruptive force on the boards, those individuals can and will take action according to their assigned duties.

You're making an assumption, I was asking a legitimate question, his thought process confused me. As I said before if he was offended he would have said something
and this was your idea of meeting half way?

So now you're saying it was NOT in poor taste? You're confusing me.

Quote

Based on a misinterpretation. And your tone did not reflect a mere question.

Quote

Yes, as I said, I have been giving you benefit of the doubt that you have not been deliberately twisting people's words in addition to your rudeness.

Quote

Being a disruptive force on the boards is cause for disciplinary action. If I were you, I would be more concerned about the fact that you seem content to treat people as badly as you feel like, so long as you stay on the right side of some legal line.

I'm surprised you can tell what I meant better then I can, you must be psychic or something.
(that's sarcasm)

Let's just end this:
Wow Schaef I guess you're right, the entire purpose of my post was to demean and insult Crustpope. Silly me thinking I was just asking a question when I was actually trying to assault and belittle his intelligence.
(also sarcasm)

The Schaef · « **Reply #134 on:** October 28, 2010, 12:00:09 AM »

You're not really making your other posts look any better by attacking me also. It just proves my point.

The Schaef · « **Reply #136 on:** October 28, 2010, 12:04:08 AM »

If you think that was my point, can you demonstrate where I made that claim?

Exactly how long do you intend to keep seeing how far you can push me?

I just want you to explain to me how you "know" my post was an attack on Crustpope when I've said it wasn't and he didn't think so either

The Schaef · « **Reply #138 on:** October 28, 2010, 12:29:07 AM »

I've already explained everything I intend to explain. I'm not interested in playing mind games with you. And your response to me in the form of sarcasm and snide comments tells me you're not interested in playing this straight. So we're at an impasse.

Let's see what you've explained:
whether I knew it or not my post was attacking Crustpope
and
You don't like sarcasm

I'm just curious how you knew my post was an attack when it clearly wasn't

I AM DANIEL · « **Reply #140 on:** October 28, 2010, 12:44:35 AM »

Hey. I have read the posts and i don't want to get involved (even though this post does) i just wanted to say that JSB23 is playing with red-hot fire. i would drop it. if i were you i would never in 1 million years ever be rude to a moderator. i am not going to point fingers or say who is right or wrong because that would start a flame war. but i think that it would be smart to drop the issue.

P. S. don't be mad at I AM DANIEL. he is a nice guy

I'm curious how "clearly" you can make this claim when it is so easily interpreted sarcastically and you have exhibited a pattern of sarcasm and condescension in this thread and others in recent days and weeks. In light of that, how "clear" is this really?

I can't prove you're wrong so if it makes you happy to think you're right go right ahead I can't stop you

Well, at least we're in agreement that you can't excuse your behavior. I'd still like to think you could back off the other posters a bit but I guess what you're gonna do is what you're gonna do.
