Originally posted by FMFI see. So you cannot tell us why you find it morally acceptable to retrospectively bring up elements from the past in order to confront, embarass and discredit other people.

Can we therfore ask you again what you hope to achieve by it and do you see yourself as a kind of forum judiciary?
Your stuff about "retrospective" references being "morally reprehensible" is self-serving hypocritical nonsense. You, on one hand brandishing the forum persona that you do, while on the other, lecturing others on their Christian principles, is ludicrous - and not as funny as you seem to think. 😉
Originally posted by divegeesterWill you answer the questions that were put to you. Second time asking. Why do you find it morally justified to bring up elements from the past in order to confront, embarras and discredit other people. What do you hope to achieve by it and do you find it consummate with the Christian principles that you profess?
A few months ago you dragged up the lynchings of black people in last century America and claimed that I was a bad as them. You posted about it for pages and pages and pages. You persistently bring up my posting past here at RHP in an effort to use it against me. So you really don't have must of a claim to this pretence of forum etiquette that you are making.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere is nothing for you to be morally indignat about; I and others bring up your past misdemeanours all the time and with great relish. GB is well out of order and fully deserves to be called on it. Principles, religious or otherwise, have nothing to do with it you silly man.

There's nothing wrong with holding people accountable for what they say in a public forum. And it doesn't matter whether it was said an hour ago or three years ago. It is not "morally reprehensible". I stand by everything I've ever posted, and if I'm embarrassed by anything I've said I'll just say so.

Originally posted by divegeesterBut I am not morally indignant??? I am simply trying to understand your position on these issues. I make no moral judgement about you nor do I condemn you in any way. Therefore we shall try again, the questions that you have been asked are.

1. Can you tell us if you think its morally acceptable to drag elements up from the past and use them to confront, embarrass and discredit other people.
2. Can you tell us what you hope to achieve by doing so.
3. is it consummate with your professed beliefs as a Christian to do so.
If you are having trouble understanding the questions ill offer you all the assistance i can in helping you.
Originally posted by FMFAgain no one has stated that there is anything wrong with holding someone to account for their words or actions. What we have learned is that this cannot possibly be the motivating factor in your retrospectively taking elements from the past and using them to confront, embarrass and discredit other people for surely they must have been called to account for their words initially, Can you tell us why you need to do it again and gain?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou're the expert on saying the same things over and over again and/or again and again and again. Catchphrases. Insult words. Buzz words. Cliches. Over and over and over again. Several times on the same page. Why do you say the same things over and over again? Perhaps you should tell us.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere is no moral dimension. The consequences of taking responsibilty for what one has said falls on the head of the person who said it. If people don't want to be held responsible for saying embarrassing things, they should not say embarrassing things. If they regret them, they should just say so.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI seek to participate fully on these debate and discussion forums and it's par for the course for people to say embarrassing things. There's no benefit to be had from trying inhibit free speech and the taking of proper responsibility by people for what they say with daft hyperbole about people talking on a message board being "morally reprehensible".
Can you tell us what you hope to achieve in doing so?
