Startreader, @Crowley would agree.

Just read his profile.

Crowley is a wise RHP member. Tailor-made advice for this particular situation.

Sadly, I cannot say the same about Bob, you, Startreader,
Suzianne, the ghosts, and the rest of the Axis of Evil.

The mujihaddeen claim to be fighters against evil too😵

Quite ironic. The siege mentality of sects is uncanny.

You think we are caught up in a Grandpa Bobby personality cult?

It's a favourite jibe of this little group, uttered in various ways. Mere evidence of the low stupidity of the thinking.

The two of you are quite a disappointment, really. It's the internet,
of course, but I used to sense none of you would side with someone
who mocks cancer survival, suicide, and other sensitive subjects
which can deeply hurt people.

Even I have limits, for I keep myself within the boundaries of poop
and naughty humor.

Shame on you both.

Indeed it was, sorry. But as you will be aware, it was obviously an ironic reference to Grampy Bobby's behaviour. Looking at the verse in question, it would seem that perhaps you were trying to 'say' the nastiest thing possible to a fellow Christian, but to do so without actually 'saying it'. This is why I mentioned your 'passive aggression'.

And whether the ...[text shortened]... ain what point you were actually trying to make. This is why I mentioned your 'lack of courage'.

Oh, the irony.

Which bit?

This thread is turning into a demonstration of "My enemies enemy is my friend"
it's like pre-WW1 - whose side you gonna be on? I've respect for all sides on here
even though most (perhaps all) have behaved like pratts (probably including myself)
from time to time.

Don't run with the crowd. .

Suzianne, you sometimes have difficulty understanding the concept of "passive aggression". Well, josephw has served up a textbook case of it here since page 13. Just so you know. 😉

I just don't know how to respond to this. You whine about someone criticizing you by calling them "passive aggressive" because you don't understand the reference, or, more likely, that you can't believe it applies to you in any way, and then, when you're done with your judgement of them, along with your guarded slur on me, you end with a "smiley".

Unbelievable. And yet you claim that I don't understand what "passive aggressive" means and then you offer a perfect example of your own "passive aggressive" behavior unintentionally.

Actually, I do know how to respond to this. Maybe you should quit talking to me about other people until you can get your own stuff straight.

This is merely feigned ignorance, and this is related to "learned helplessness" in regards to "passive aggression". Perhaps also a classic "stalling for time" maneuver, like people who constantly say "huh?" or "what?" when you talk to them.

Were you not allowed to express anger as a child?

I didn't call josephw "passive aggressive" because he was criticizing me. I was simply describing his behaviour on pages 13, 14 and 15. You have misused the term several times. josephw was trying to say something nasty to divegeester without actually saying it himself. He hid behind a Bible quote and refused to explain how he thought the quote applied to divegeester. It's about as "passive aggressive" as one can get. 😉

I don't think I did offer an example in the way I talked to josephw. You're wrong.

So, you can't explain what the irony was?

Well, at least you're trending.

It seems like it's "cool" now to be constantly offended by something.

Especially stuff that was never meant to be offensive.

That way you can be the one to assign blame.

The spotlight can be addictive, yes?
