Why don't you stop your whining about other DUers? You whine here about el bryanto and you whined about me in replies to kentauros.

The SoP does not include disingenuous meta about DUers that you're trying to import from your other haunts.

And you can go back to truebrit71 and tell him you tried. Maybe he'll thank you for your efforts, even though it amounted to no more than stirring bullshit.

BTW, since you like irony so much, read your own words:

I was nothing but civil to everyone I responded to.

something, something, something . . . .

Clearly the SOP of this group is just utter bullshit.

I bet you don't even see it.

Labels? [View all] Htom Sirveaux Aug 2014 OP

I agree. I notice as my faith cuanges and grows thst labels don't pinpoint my faith completely. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #1

How have your views changed over time? nt Htom Sirveaux Aug 2014 #2

My ideas on prayer and what God does in the world. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #3

Ah, Justin, I agree that people change as well as their views. No Vested Interest Aug 2014 #4

You put it better than I could. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #5

Have you ever been tempted to idolize a label? Htom Sirveaux Aug 2014 #6

Interesting question. I would have never used the term "idolize" re a personal label No Vested Interest Aug 2014 #12

Any kind of label, but especially religious/spiritual labels. nt Htom Sirveaux Aug 2014 #13

Okay, then. I'll stand pat with answer in #12. No Vested Interest Aug 2014 #14

The problem is when people stuff the labels in their ears. rug Aug 2014 #7

How does one avoid that temptation, in your opinion? nt Htom Sirveaux Aug 2014 #8

Realizing that it's a category not an identity. rug Aug 2014 #9

Is this about cooling one's emotional attachment? nt Htom Sirveaux Aug 2014 #10

Not so much as understanding that human beings do not fit into boxes. rug Aug 2014 #11

Don't we pretty much have to label things... TreasonousBastard Aug 2014 #15

What is a faithiest? hrmjustin Aug 2014 #16

I believe the term refers to an atheist who thinks that some atheists are too harsh on believers el_bryanto Aug 2014 #17

Another attempt at bullying. Just sad. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #18

No, it's not Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #19

Thanks my friend and welcome to our group. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #20

Not a problem. Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #21

That's possibly the origin of the term; but obviously it's being applied wider than that. nt el_bryanto Aug 2014 #22

I think that's pretty much how it is being applied Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #23

So why am I getting that attitude? Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #25

You are getting that attitude because I know who you are el_bryanto Aug 2014 #26

I have posted nothing in this safe haven that violates the SOP Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #27

Than I suppose my comments will be hidden. el_bryanto Aug 2014 #28

Depends on how you posted. Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #29

Your defense of a hidden homophobic post, for starters. rug Aug 2014 #30

I've asked for an explanation of why it is homophobic Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #31

We do not chastice our members in public. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #32

I was chastised in public in this group. Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #33

That response was in the same post. Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #36

Ah, "find something before that that is uncivil". rug Aug 2014 #38

You mean this? Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #45

"the entirety of his post comes across as thinly veiled homophobia" rug Aug 2014 #48

So, you're ignoring the part about the worm? kentauros Aug 2014 #49

A footnote. okasha Aug 2014 #51

Thanks okasha. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #52

You're welcome. okasha Aug 2014 #54

Thank you, okasha. kentauros Aug 2014 #53

I am sorry that this all happened in your thread. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #50

I think labels are necessary. kentauros Aug 2014 #55

I think the cherry-picking is necessary. okasha Aug 2014 #56

Labels can be handy, but a given label can cover a multitude of differences Fortinbras Armstrong Aug 2014 #57
